Farley Elementary School

We have had nothing but positive experiences at Challenger and with Ms. Joiner leading the team, things have only gotten better. She brings so much love and joy to the school which has trickled down to the teachers, admin and students. We couldn’t ask for a better public school environment!

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.
