Lovett School

When we moved we left a good elementary school in Smyrna that was highly rated and regarded. I am so grateful that when we relocated it was to a home that is zoned to a great APS gem- Bolton Academy. Bolton truly feels like a family. The school has amazing and loving teachers, a fantastic DLI program, an involved, engaging, and responsive administrative staff, a wonderfully helpful support staff, a beautifullydiverse group of students, and a bright and welcoming building. I could not have asked for a better place for my child be educated, and as she moves on to middle school, we leave knowing she was loved as she learned and she is well prepared for the next step.

Being 100% honest, I wanted my son to be in Bolton due to more equity, less discrimination and bullying (precisely due to more equity and mix of culture) and same academic scores… buuuut I ended being force to enroll him in Brandon, so I trusted God Plans and its being genuinely a life change in the best sense! My son has grow and learned so much in 2 years. The program and system in general is amazing for their academic success and happiness, yes! My son loves going to school. They make it so fun with all the activities and fun learning techniques. There is definitely discrimination and bullying (bnot super common) and we have had to teach our son ( soon as kindergarten :( but there was no other way) to speak out defend himself and defend others vulnerable by his own voice and hands if necessary after we tried reporting by email like 3 times make little meetings with teachers and directive without success. When our son stop crying and just defend himself or other vulnerable child they start to isolate my son or the little bully’s from him and everything is going wonderful now. Discrimination and segregation, oh yes. more than any different population than white would like. But I’ve seen that is all about the teachers (what I read in this reviews before enrolled him is completely true) there are 10/10 teachers that literally will change your sons life and make them love school and everything in life!! and other 3/10 (in ethic and professionalism) in a 50/50. so is a random lottery what experience your kid will have (emotionally regarding to school) next year.. My son was isolated outside the class room by his teacher, in the hall alone all day for weeks, where he just stay sitting all day and cry quiet pr moments, for being new, other race, ethnicity different than white, and coming in the middle of the year. I understand is not easy, but her lack of sensitivity ethic and humanity is not professional when working with small kids. Another teacher saw him in the Hall everyday and advocate for him, and call me to let me know what my son was living. So, is all about the teachers, and they are incredibly good and awful ones in Morris Brandon. It worth it? 100% the pros in Morris Brandon are huge! For the Cons, God gives us the people strength and wisdom to live anything if he wants us to go trough, and now our son is fully adapt and growing incredibly fast. Just be wise and extra protective if your child is outside the standard race and socio economic

Teasley is a fantastic school. Our daughter is about to finish up her 4th year, and our son is finishing up his 1st. They both love it. The teachers are always happy and engaging. Most of the parents want to be involved, and make it a great experience for the teachers, and other students. We have been so fortunate to always have incredible teachers. They are so patient, kind, caring, and give our kids the best guidance!

Given the tuition, I find it odd that the high school art teacher lacks a biography, a college degree or a resume. What does this tell you?
