Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Elementary School

I’ve had a challenging experience with Blanton Elementary. While I appreciate some of the teachers, my interactions with the vice principal have been very disappointing. When I called to check on my daughter, I was met with rudeness and a refusal to confirm her presence at school. Even after meeting to discuss the situation, I felt the apology was insincere, especially considering my daughter’s safety was at stake. Overall, I believe the staff, particularly in the main office, could benefit from a more professional and friendly approach. I’m looking forward to finding a better fit for my daughter’s education.

Tons of bullying here! It's very upsetting because we have been a family with this school since pre-school and currently have two children enrolled here. The leadership is unaware of the bullying that takes place here and does little to squash it- just brush it under the rug or blame the wrong kids (teacher's kids seem to never do any wrong). It's so difficult for a child to learn in this environment! The academics here are top notch, but the social environment is not good and not watched! Our child excels in sports, is an A student, involved in the arts & band- the school wants students to be involved in all areas, which is great. However, they cater to the teachers' students- they get chosen for awards, positions and never get into trouble! It's very disheartening for a Christian school! Or child is good looking, intelligent & giving, but is constantly bullied by those who think they have "more power" than him because of their family status or parent teacher status!

My son is in their blended Pre-K program. The staff are dedicated, wonderful, and AMAZING. The school offers programs such as swimming, music and art for even the youngest students. I'm heartbroken to hear that they are going to be closing out the Pre-K program here.
