Harris Elementary School

I have had 3 of my 6 children attend Neely. As a single parent, I rely heavily on our school community for support. Everyone at Neely Traditional has always gone above and beyond to make a "home away from home" for my children. We have not only been given excellent education opportunities and supported in academic readiness for Middle and High School, but the social and emotional support is unmatched. Teachers, admin and staff meet individual needs while positively encouraging growth to overcome challenges. School activities are enriching and beneficial. Specials classes and extracurriculars are staffed by teachers who are passionate about their students and what they do. Support staff (nurse, social worker, front desk, cafeteria, custodian, and administration) are always welcoming, making the school a place you wan to be. Neely Traditional has been an integral part of raising my children and we cherish the time spent as part of this community!

happy love the school and teachersBe here next year

Our daughter has attended Franklin Accelerated East K-6 and as she is entering Jr High she's reading at nearly a college level! The teachers and staff are all caring & supportive. There is absolutely zero bullying and any instances are handled immediately, as a parent I appreciate this immensely. Parents are heavily involved in activities and volunteering, as a parent that volunteered throughout the years it has been great working with these students and getting them excited about education. My husband attended in his elementary years ago and actually began college level courses when he turned 15 because of the education from this school. Highly recommend.

Some of the teachers here are really wonderful however others don't treat the children very good at all. I've noticed that some of the teachers here talk down to the kids and don't treat them with kindness at all. Seems as though they very much have the mentality that children should be seen and not heard. My kids complained on several occasions that the teachers would raise their voice without reason, sometimes so loud they explained being frightened by certain teachers. Also I had called and requested my child be seen by the school counselor and my daughter said they never followed up. The bullying at this school is not taken seriously at all and often times is brushed off and the bullied kids walk away from situations feeling like they are at fault. I can't wait for the year to end to not have anything else to do with this school.

Terrible school. Getting a meeting with the principal is so hard, you have better luck winning the lottery than to get an appointment with arbo. She allows bullying, said kindergarten students dont deserve a graduation ceremony because they haven’t accomplished anything and that her daughters didn’t have a ceremony and became outstanding adults. A substitute teacher spanked a kindergarten student and she allowed it, didn’t do anything about it and still allowed the sub to come back to sub for the same teacher! Getting the teachers to respond is sooooo hard unless they need something (donations)

Robson will call the police on your children for for no reason and also not call u to tell you and punish your child the whole day. Also the police will call u later to tell u about it even tho they did not and the police will let u know they should not have called and your child did nothing wrong. Most of the teachers and staff at this school are first year staff with no experience and a lack of knowledge. keep your loved ones away.
