Highland Colony

GME is a wonderful school with a great community feel. There is a dedicated STEM lab instructor which allows the students to fully engage in STEM based activities outside their homeroom. There is also a school garden that allows teachers and students a quiet place to connect with nature while providing an outdoor classroom to observe the plant lifecycle, experience different fruits and vegetables and so many other things. Additionally, there is a nature trail on the school property with seating areas that also allow for outdoor learning. The teachers and staff are committed to seeing their students succeed and working with them to ensure they have every opportunity to do so. Communication from the teachers and administration is frequent and thorough. In addition to the county run ASP, the school offers a number of after school clubs covering a variety of interests. There are also many community building events held at the school throughout the year that further engage parents, students and families. Overall it is a fantastic school and community.

My daughter has had the privilege of attending Shallowford Falls Elementary School for the past five years, and it has truly been such a meaningful and wonderful experience for our family. From the very beginning, the teachers and faculty have created a warm, supportive, and encouraging environment where she has been able to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.The dedication, kindness, and genuine care shown by the staff have made a lasting impact on her confidence and love for learning. We are incredibly grateful for the friendships, memories, and strong foundation she has gained during her time there. Shallowford Falls will always hold a special place in our hearts.

We have had our kids (of various ages) attend many different public and private schools in Roswell and Alpharetta. Mountain Park is by far our favorite school so far. The teachers have been fantastic and the school's leadership is talented and seems to truly care about the kids. Our youngest has been there since kindergarten will attend 5th grade there next year. Fantastic school!

They are happy to embrace your child if they fit within the strict rules and policies of the school. They only want to enroll temped mild mannered children if your child falls anywhere outside of that box I would advise against VMS. They did a great job teaching and enabling growth but are no afraid to excuse your child with no notice from the programming to ensure their environment stays controlled. This could be really good for some people- I get it but save yourself the drama if your child has an ounce of silliness, independence or stronger personality.

We are not fortunate enough to live in Roswell, GA, but luckily have access to Jacob's Ladder via their PODS program. We spent a month there with our 4 year old daughter, Ellie, who has been diagnosed with C.P. JL was recommended to me from a friend, who said, 'just go there, now.' She could not have been more correct. Thank you so very much Amy, what you've done there is beyond words. Sarah, Suda, Rachel, and the rest of the wonderful staff, thank you for such a beautiful experience. We miss you already!
