Challenger Elementary School

Teachers there do bare minimum. The teacher my child had took away food as punishment, and the teachers also take away recess as punishment. Principal is 0 help and does not return emails. My child also came home so hungry every day because her teacher rarely let the students have snack. So glad I got my kid out.

My son goes to Weatherly Heights for preschool and they are awesome! Student/Teacher ratio works well for us and my son learned a TON while attending Weatherly Heights thanks to their great teachers and staff. Ms. Mann is truly amazing! I would highly recommend Weatherly Heights!

The Montessori School of Huntsville is such a breath of fresh air. The staff deeply believes in and embodies Montessori principles and it makes such a clear difference. I have seen my children grow in social and emotional skills and confidence as well as traditional academics like math and reading fundamentals. Their time at school has made a marked difference in how they interact with their home environment, other people, and our family. Their guide has followed their interests to create works that build on their passions. I feel extremely fortunate to have this school available for our children. The expectations are developmentally appropriate and respectful, while still setting clear boundaries and engendering community and kindness.

I’m a current Junior in high school and I believe that Mountain Gap Elementary School is positively the best school providing lower education in the area. I got to Mountain Gap in the last few months of my 2nd grade year and I was welcomed with open arms. The principal, my teacher, and my classmates were very kind and I found friends quickly. My elementary years taught me plenty of content not being learned at my prior school. The normal classroom curriculum was unmatched but I also had the opportunity to be in the gifted program- taking me out of the classroom at times which was also extremely beneficial to me. Though teachers have retired and moved, I have no doubts that Mountain Gap Elementary still provides the same quality education I received in my time there. I spent the rest of my elementary and middle school career in Mountain Gap schools. If you or your child has the opportunity to go to Mountain Gap- welcome to the best years! You’re in good hands and you’ll be on the path for great things.
