Deer Run

As a parent, I love Hiram elementary. They are focus on my son’s development in a kind and loving environment.

As a parent of a Kindergarten & 2nd Grade student at Panter, we absolutely love the school. The teachers have been fantastic through our experience; inviting, friendly, engaging with students, caring and informative with parents on what is being taught. The entire staff has been great. Our entire family thinks the world of Ms. Smith the principal. My boys consider her a friend and feel comfortable talking to her in the halls, that makes my Momma's heart happy. She is always friendly and has an open door policy to parents. The staff is always open to questions and conversations, the school feels warm and friendly. My boys are learning a lot and we love our Panter family.

My two kids attend this school - they like it, both the environment and the teaching. A great elementary school provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where young minds can grow and flourish. From dedicated teachers who go above and beyond to engaging and interactive classrooms that spark curiosity, an excellent school sets the foundation for lifelong learning. Strong emphasis on creativity, inclusivity, and academic excellence ensures that every child feels supported in their journey. Beyond academics, a well-rounded school offers enriching extracurricular activities, fostering teamwork and confidence. When parents see their children excited to go to school each day, making meaningful friendships, and developing a love for learning, it’s a true testament to the school’s commitment to education. A top-notch elementary school doesn’t just teach—it inspires!

Our family loves Praise Academy! This is our 6th year and have no plans of leaving. No school is perfect, however I feel like admin addresses all issues they are made aware of. I love the approach the current admin is taking compared to the previous admin. My children have found lifetime friendships at Praise. I love the family atmosphere and willingness from staff and other Praise families to help each other. Being able to drop my children off every morning and not worry about them is priceless. If you’re on the fence in choosing a school please visit Praise/set up a shadow day. I’m positive your children will love it!

This is my sons second year attending GCA and the experience has been horrible. The environment lacks stability. In 6 months, they have had 3 lead teachers. His class is behind the other two pre-k classes due to the poor hires. The staff does not communicate well with parents and sadly, we will not be returning next year.

I would to not only go against the first review but totally disagree with every word on it. My child has been going there for 8 years now and I have no complaints! Every teacher there not only has a teacher certification/ degree but also helps my child with special needs and meets my expectations with him more than I could imagine. There has always been help with my son and one on one help at all times with the small classroom sizes and caring teachers. I not only know the owner well, but have a lasting bond with other teachers there. The owner has even helped me financially and would give me the shirt off her back with no hesitation. My child entered middle school this year and I noticed there are new teachers. I was nervous at first, however these new teachers have completely changed the atmosphere and gone above and beyond for my child and the other children in the classrooms. My child feels completely safe and comfortable to talk about their feelings to teachers or the owner without a doubt in his mind that they will not be private or confidential. I absolutely love Brighton and my child hopes to become a teacher there one day!
