McElroys Mill

This school has changed tremendously since the last principal left. Most of the staff not all, but a significant portion are extremely rude, and as an African American woman, the attitude and dismissiveness I have experienced from several staff members is absolutely unacceptable. I have three children who have all attended Norton, and I have lived in Snellville for more than 15 years. Over time, I have seen both the area and some of the schools decline. Concerns are often left unanswered or unresolved unless you take further action, such as reaching out to the district.The school also lacks diversity among staff, and there should be a stronger effort to reflect and represent the student population.At this point, I am planning to move by 2027, as I am done with the schools in this area. I strongly encourage leadership to either provide additional coaching for staff or consider necessary changes where appropriate. These children are our future and deserve better examples and a more respectful, responsive environment.
