This school has the more bad special education they only work with the easy cases

FIVE STARS... I have three children that have and/or is attending Roberta T Smith Elementary School (RTSE). One child is in the 6th grade/promoted to the 7th grade. The second child will be attending the 6th grade this upcoming 2020/2021 school year. The third child will be in the 4th grade this upcoming 2020/2021 school year at RTSE. All of my children have attended RTSE since the kindergarten. All of my children have done well. The leadership has always had high expectations of the teachers, students, parents and community partners. I know by what I have been involved in, seen with my own eyes and experienced that I could not have enrolled my three children to a better school. My two older children are attending Elite Scholars Academy and my last child participates in the GIFTED Program at RTSE. Now, they are special but no special than any other children. However, because they attended RTSE they have received a great start to their education.

We moved to Georgia from Michigan and I am very pleased with this school. My daughter teacher is Mr. Thigpen and he is amazing. Very patient and kind and specializes in working with gifted and advanced students! Parent liaison Ms. Volley is always available for resources I can use at home to help my child, and shes really friendly. The leaders of the school set the tone. The Principal keeps parents informed of changes and things we can do at home to help the students. She is really vested in the school and her passion shows! Same goes for the Assistant Principal.

Don’t know where to start horrible school. Bad decision all around do not send your children here!

This school does an amazing job with the students. I was able to visit my granddaughter’s classroom and was pleasantly surprised to find the level at which the students were being taught. They were counting money, adding double digit numbers, reviewing antonyms and reading lengthy passages. The students in this class were five and six years old. Great job!
