Highland Colony

This school is an awesome wonderful school that I my kids have and Experian with. Principal teachers and staffs are greats to work around the students. we're so lucky to moved our kids to this wonder school.

Both my sons have attended this school, and my youngest is set to graduate. We have had a wonderful experience in every facet at Shallowford Falls. The Special Ed dept is overseen and facilitated to meet students where they are. The team mentality on IEP teams is such a heartwarming feeling and reduces the stress of advocating. The volunteers who assist SF are amazing--from the PTA, Foundation, Super Dads, the library restockers, and everyone in between. Teachers are attune to students' social and emotional well-being and issues are dealt with fairly and compassionately. My sons are Black, and finding a school where they are accepted has been monumental. In regards to a previous review regarding the discrimination during AM carpool, we have never witnessed or experienced what the original poster claims. Each morning, what we do see, are teachers assisting to unload the cars of Special Need students. We are currently in our 8th year at this school, and in all those years, the only cars who we have witnessed where teachers open doors and help unload the kids are those cars with Special Needs students who pull all the way to the front. This is our 8th year, and each and every day, that is what we see. Teachers are trained to not open doors or assist any students except those who are disabled. I'm disheartened the previous poster finds this "comical" and it shows their own lack of inclusion and acceptance. If we could go back and time and do elementary school again, we would pick Shallowford Falls in a heartbeat. It has been instrumental in providing a safe and inclusive environment where our children have been able to grow into the humans they are now and ultimately ready for middle school. The passion of the teachers is untouchable and this example starts with the admin team. Shallowford Falls = 10 out of 10 stars.

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!

VMS is a fantastic school with qualified Montessori trained teachers! My son has been a student here for almost 9 years. He is always so excited to come to school and loves his teachers. Our friends have had two children go through the middle school here, and say that their children were highly successful in high school, not only academically but also emotionally. I have heard a lot of negative things about the local high schools and I worry about my son when he gets to this point, BUT after talking with the middle school teachers and seeing the results of some graduates, VMS middle schoolers are provided with guidance in social and emotional growth and given the tools necessary for success in high school and even college. We are definitely keeping him in this school through 8th grade!!

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!
