Fair Oaks

My son started attending this school in 3rd grade and I couldn’t be more happy. All of his teachers are communicative and friendly. The ladies at the front desk have always been welcoming. I also like the fact that there are two doors you have to get buzzed into before you’re able to get into the school - I’m big on school safety. The staff in the carpool line also makes us feel appreciated by doing random things. At the beginning of the new year, they gave all carpool parents goody bags full of snacks.

I could have written this half way through the school year but I wanted to wait until the end so I could honestly assess my son's Kindergarten experience. With that said, I am wholeheartedly a fan of Burruss! I brag about this school constantly to other parents/neighbors who are trying to find a quality public school in the area. A lot of people think that East Cobb schools are the "best" but I beg to differ. At Burruss, the diversity is unmatched (huge non-negotiable for our family), the teachers are awesome, the curriculum is top tier and the communication I received from the principal and his teachers throughout the year was excellent. Furthermore, my son is reading with ease, which was our #1 priority for him upon completing Kindergarten. We choiced him into this school, since the school we are zoned for unfortunately didn't even return my phone calls for a tour. I'm glad they didn't because we really lucked out in the long run! I have been following the progress of the Marietta City School district since I moved here in 2019. The superintendent is doing a marvelous job with all of the schools. The rankings for all of their schools have soared and they are truly the gold standard for literacy in the state! Highly recommended!

I am so thankful for this school. It's my child's first school and to date his best experience. Their patience and care are unlike any other. They aid my little prince, who has special needs, with all the tools he needed to strive and succeed. They made him gained valuable lessons on how to make friends and converse with others. Special love and thanks to all the special teachers and staff. You made my RJ greater.

A below average elementary school. School has decent teachers, but this school has a terrible record of having hired unacceptable school administration staff.

Todos los maestros son super amables y atentos con sus alumnos, nos sentimos felices de que nuestros hijos asistan a esta escuela
