Pitner Elementary School

This school may be fine for neurotypical students but if you have an ND kid, AVOID at all costs. They give mouth service to any accommodations asked for without really supporting your students, and punish your children for the smallest infractions without even bothering to find out if the children understood they were committing an infraction. They won't provide support unless you specifically ask for it, and you'd better know EXACTLY what you need to ask for or you won't get any help at all. Five years here and your children will hate school and believe that they are irredeemable troublemakers after being told how bad they are for five years.

We relocated to Georgia in December of last year, and the transition to this school exceeded my expectations. I was initially concerned about how my son would adjust, but he quickly felt at home and absolutely loves it here. The staff and environment made the move so much smoother for our family.

As a parent of a child with special needs, our experience at Chalker Elementary has been disappointing. While the school may appear welcoming on the surface, we encountered serious issues regarding special education support and communication. Our child’s IEP was not consistently followed, services were delayed or missed, and we found it difficult to get clear answers from staff. Inclusion was lacking, and we often felt our child was treated as a burden rather than a valued and included individual. When we tried to advocate for improvements, the response was defensive rather than collaborative.

I have multiple students who attended from kindergarten all the way through and graduated from Shiloh Hills Christian. They received an excellent education preparing them for acceptance into competitive colleges. There was academic rigor and I love that they were known like family. That is one of the strengths of this school. Students are genuinely loved, cared for, challenged, and celebrated. I would highly recommend Shiloh to perspective families.

This school has been such a huge part of our lives for the past three years. My son just finished his Kindergarten year here and is starting first grade, and I honestly couldn’t be more proud of how far he’s come.The Montessori approach has been amazing for him. I’ve seen him grow so much, not just academically but as a person. He learned to read, started writing in cursive, and really got a solid understanding of math concepts, all at his own pace. But what I love even more is how confident, independent, and respectful he’s become. He’s developed such a love for learning, and I truly credit that to the environment this school has created.One of the things that made me feel so comfortable early on was how safe and nurturing the school feels. The teachers are kind, patient, and clearly love what they do. I always felt like my son was in good hands.Communication with the staff has also been great. Any time I had a question or concern, they were always quick to respond and happy to talk things through. It really feels like a partnership.I’m so grateful we found this school and that my son had the chance to experience these early years in such a thoughtful and caring environment. Highly recommend to any parent looking for something more than just a traditional classroom.
