Cascade Elementary School

Finch Elementary school is truly a diamond in the rough in the Westend of Atlanta. I have found the school to be full of caring and dedicated teachers and staff who go over and beyond the call of duty to ensure that all students learn and exprience academic success. The building is clean and bright. I am happy to have met the staff and leadership of Finch Elementary school.

Our scholars are entering into first grade and this will be their 3rd year here. All of our home room teachers have been receptive of any/all assistance given. A lot of STEAM enrichment programs from hydroponics to chickens! Administration seems receptive to feedback and community engagement.

Beecher is an absolute treasure! My daughter is thriving and wakes up excited to go to school every single day. The teachers and staff pour so much love, energy, and encouragement into everything they do — it’s like a second family. The school is full of life, creativity, and fresh ideas that keep the kids engaged and inspired. Throughout the year, I’ve been constantly amazed by how dedicated the staff is to helping every child succeed, I was compelled to extend my support so I joined PTA and serve as Secretary of the Board 2025-2026. I couldn’t be prouder that my daughter is a Beecher Bee — and her sister can't wait to join her this fall as well!

My daughter is going through therapy because the headmaster did not report to us an accident that should have been reported to the police.

My son and I had a great experience at this school. When we moved on to another school he excelled and is far ahead of his peers. I attribute this to 3 things; parent involvement early on in his learning, Early Head Start for children ages 0-5 at Easter Seals Early Learning Center and Gate City School. Gate City School prepared him for Kindergarten and he was reading well. He was able to help one of his peers in kindergarten learn read and write his alphabet. He was ready for 1st/2nd grade math in kindergarten.

TAG Academy is the best kept secret in southwest Atlanta! The improvement in ratings on this site alone in the last three years reflect the hard work of the caring administration and staff and wonderful students. If you are zoned for this school please contact the principal and schedule a tour. You will not be disappointed! There are many extracurricular activities to choose from, and the school has a built-in boys and girls club afterschool program with a wonderful director.
