This school has some great techers including Mr. Boston, who leads the STEM programs. The school does career days for the students.

My experience with Smoke Rise Elementary School has been deeply disappointing. Unfortunately, it has not been a supportive environment for my child. During our time there, my child experienced bullying from both students and teachers, which was extremely concerning.When I reached out to the school seeking support and intervention, responses—when they came at all—often felt defensive rather than focused on addressing the situation. The priority seemed to be protecting staff rather than ensuring the well-being and safety of students.Additionally, interactions with staff were frequently rude and unprofessional. While the school presents itself as a warm and supportive environment, our experience did not reflect that image. From a parent’s perspective, it often felt like the outward friendliness was more of a façade than a genuine commitment to supporting students and families.I hope the school leadership will take concerns like these seriously and work toward creating a truly supportive environment where every child feels safe, respected, and valued.

Elementary should be the easiest school time in a child's educational life. Not so much at this school. To be clear this school feels more like a prison.

My grandson attends Victory and I couldn't be happier. Most of my friends and co-workers are astounded when I tell them about the curriculum. I actually had to take one of his reports to work before they would believe me. The cost is amazing, the teachers are beyond excellent, and the administration is phenominal. We home schooled our grandson until my daughter could find a school that she felt addressed her educational requirements. We plan to work with the school to help in the capital campaign for the construction of a middle school.

They don't represent values that our children need
