Worst ever!You don’t know what your kids were treated there. Be aware!

They are cruel and irresponsible. I have a non verbal child who can't tell us about his day. It's been 2 months and we still can't get a note to tell us about his day. We've done everything and it's been totally exhausting. Teachers are unaccountable. They hate parents- especially fathers. If you have an autisic child this school would be a mistake.

My kids have been at this school for seven years, and never had a bad teacher - every single primary class teacher has been excellent! There are occasional issues - a difficult Specials teacher, and very tight rules around adult admittance to the school. But when I've had a concern, it has been addressed with respect and a willingness to improve. Overall I've been very happy with the staff and educational program. And the "no homework" policy at the younger grades is fantastic - kids need to move and play at home after learning all day, and this school really gets that. When one of my children had difficulty writing, I was able to ask the teacher for extra resources and have him practice at home only on what he needed to improve.

My daughter has thrived at Nickajack Elementary School, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. The dedicated teachers create a warm, nurturing environment where she feels valued and supported. The staff genuinely cares about each child's academic progress and personal development, taking time to understand individual learning styles and needs.I've been impressed by the variety of after-school programs available. My daughter has participated in music, art, cheerleading, and martial arts. The STEAM nights have also been a highlight for our family. These events bring parents and students together for hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math activities that spark curiosity and make learning fun.The recent school renovation has made a noticeable difference as well. The updated facilities provide a modern, welcoming space that enhances the learning experience. It's clear the community is invested in giving these students the best possible environment.Nickajack Elementary fosters a strong sense of community with engaged parents and welcoming administrators who maintain open communication. My daughter is excited to go to school each day, and that says everything.

I have 2 children at CCS and we have seen them grow quite a bit in their faith, academic learning, and the joy they attach to being Christian. Both of their teachers make an extra effort to connect with my children and to point out their strengths. And both teachers also take extra effort to add creative pieces to how they teach certain concepts that my husband and I appreciate too. Our kids both have shared that they love CCS as well!

I can't say enough good things about St. Benedict's. Our daughter has been at the school for 2 years (as a 3 and 4-year old), and she has just thrived. She comes home telling us the new Spanish words she's learned. She's known by not only her teachers but also the administrators. It's clear that there's not only knowledge but also love and faith across the curriculum and school culture. Just today, our daughter came home saying she loved school and couldn't wait to go back tomorrow. I'm not sure what else a parent or child could want from an education.

I’ve had 2 kids attend Smyrna prep (one went from 16 month- pre k 4) and the other has been there 1.5 years. We have had an amazing experience for both kids. Super loving teachers. Our now almost 6 year old was very well prepared for his kindergarten experience after leaving. They have always been super supportive, and treated my kids like their own.
