7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMountain Rd., Elementary is a fabulous small school with under 400 students. Faculty staff everyone who works in the school are knowledgeable and care very much for the students. Safety is one of the priorities of Mountain Road along with offering a rigorous curriculum. The school has a gifted program one to one ratio in technology and so much more. I can’t say enough about the school. It is like a private school.Parent Review7mo ago - Holly Springs Elementary School
