Southgate Christian School

Monte Sano has been a life-saver for us as a family. I was recently home-schooling our boys and suddenly had to transition them back into public school. We were worried at first how that would pan out, but because Monte Sano has such wonderful and understanding teachers they did just fine. They have done a great job of helping them transition and making them feel right at home. We really could not have asked for a better school. The teachers and staff are strict on a lot of things but work very hard to keep it as safe, but still welcoming to parents as possible. We love this school!

My child absolutely loves attending this school. Since the new school has been built, I can definitely tell that the admins and staff truly care about their students. I've never seen my child so excited about coming to school every morning. Thank you.

In our family’s experience, A. Dorothy Haines (Augusta, GA) did not provide the structure or consistent support our child with special needs required. We observed staffing instability early in the school year, including periods where our child’s classroom did not appear to have a consistent, appropriately qualified lead teacher. When a qualified teacher did begin, that teacher was later no longer in the role, and the way the situation was handled did not give our family confidence in the school’s professionalism or stability.When we met with school staff to discuss accommodations and supports, we felt our concerns were dismissed rather than addressed with a clear plan. We also experienced a situation where allegations were made against our family that were later not substantiated, which added unnecessary stress during an already difficult time.Ultimately, we withdrew our child and will not return. PSA to parents of children with special needs: based on what we experienced, I would not enroll my child here again. I recommend choosing a school with proven special education structure, staffing stability, and consistent accommodations.

Ms. Hughes is a great special education teacher. My son has a learned alot in her class this school year. I am proud of what he has been able to accomplish with Ms. Hughes as his teacher.
