Hiawassee Elementary School

This school is a hidden gem. The teachers are very dedicated and hard working. The students bring their best and try hard to learn in class. The Principal, Mr. Brooks, is data driven and has has expectations for teachers and students alike. The school is not "Out of Control". The administrators know try to find alternatives to suspension when there is a discipline issue because they understand that a child is not learning the curriculum when they are not in school. Also, Pine Hills Elementary has recently been in the spotlight for some amazing accomplishments. Its all a matter of what you chose to focus on. Great School!

Tried to pick my child up early and was told no and to wait 5 mins until the regular dismissal time. They dismiss the children at separate times. The experience was frustrating because I needed to get my child right then and there. I didn't have time to wait. Ended up being late to my engagement

The leadership is very unprofessional. When I worked there, I was asked to color my hair darker, and my hair has been the same color since I was a young child. I was asked to stand and twirl around so that admin could see whether or not to approve my dress for work, the same dress that I wear to church. Their own children were always recognized over all others for all events. No money was spent on air conditioning, school supplies, nor keeping the grounds clean.I can't even go over the entire list in this short space. Basically, there was a strong favoritism towards their own children, while being anything but Christian to the teachers and supporting staff. My fiancé has been building a stadium for these same people, and they are still being cheap and unprofessional to this day. Thank goodness I left!

Terrible school, terrible teachers, horrible principals. Awful curriculum

Precious Creations is an excellent school of independent school choice. This institution has made major revisions to it's organizational structure and it make me want to keep my children in attendance even more. The are incorporating the new Common Core Curriculum which makes me feel that my child will be able to compete with children around the nation. One of the most unique concepts is the "one room school house model" The only action that brings concern to me is the overbearing concerns of parents. I feels as if parents overwhelm staff with meaningless concerns. I seen this in action for myself, and it concerns me because the staff works so hard to craft an education for the 21st century while incorporating God. The most amazing thing that I have seen this year is that all of the academy teachers have a college degree and are certified by the state of Florida. I wish they would go up to 5th grade.!
