The Main Street Academy

This by far has to be the worst school in APS history.lets start with the office staff I have never in my entire life met a group of nasty women that are beyond unprofessional. The school has a principle that you are not allowed to speak with at all. Issues with your child trying to talk to them or the principle falls on deaf ear. They have no concern of matters that is going on, this school and the principle is all about self.... The state needs to go in and and do and investigation on the staff and either get an entire new staff or some training.

The front office staff has a bad attitude. No etiquette and poor customer service.

I recently transfered my son to Asa Hilliard elementary from King Springs elementary in Smyrna, Ga. That was the WORST decision I've made thus far as a parent. Since ASA Hilliard elementary is a new school they have no state rating until after this school year is up. But I QUICKLY discovered this was formally Mt.Olive elementary which was ranked 1 out of 10 in ratings. Pretty much the bottom of the barrel. And the teachers exode that energy, well I can't speak for all but my son 2nd grade teacher is a sad story. Not only is the economic struggles and zoning zip codes can easily have a negative reputation on the kids it's also sadden to know the teachers quietly have no faith in their students progress. My son is and have been on track with his education and behavior until recently. I'LL apologize to him for putting him in this school and promised to have his charter / private school entry done this summer!

Terrible school. Our children are the future, and that's very important to remember as parents and teachers we are supposed to work together and hold a certain level of respect. Not here, super disrespectful super lazy, I feel like they care more about their appearance than the children. If they do the bare minimum they feel they deserve praise, the kids are fighting looking at nasty stuff on the computer running away from roaches in the hallway, dealing with bullies and people stealing people bringing weapons and getting them past the front office. Whenever you try to stand up for yourself or your children the staff members tear you down and act like you are the problem and the enemy. I'm not sure what they went to college for but the moment of child gets difficult they want to suspend them and they don't realize it's their toxic environment pushing these kids into the behavior that they're exhibiting I have a fourth grader and a kindergartener and other than a few friends they honestly don't like school so we won't be coming back next year but I just wanted to save any parent that I could the time stress energy and effort that I've wasted at this school. You can definitely find better. If you do happen to be forced to enroll your child in this school be the one to stand up and stick up for what's right and try to make it change because no staff member up their will.

I love the school and everything they do I’ve been there since I was a baby they treated me like I was their own and even my cousins and my new little cousins go there today

My oldest son attended this school when he turned three and stayed until kindergarten, he’s now in 4th grade and now my youngest son attends the school and has attended since he was one. If I were able to rate this school more I would. Please understand nothing is prefect but as a parent I can leave my child without worry and I’m always excited to hear what he’s learned. This week pre-K will be going to the library and my son is super excited. The school encourages students to be excited about learning and that in itself is priceless.
