Sims Elementary School

Parent, Highly Do Not recommend this school if you care about your child’s mental health. The kids are mean and vicious my daughter 3rd accelerated teacher and no control and much attitude, that a lot of issues went straight to me due to being unable talk to her and the few times I spoke to her it has been fake and all problems not resolved this was established because same issues with kids would resurface and more problem with the same group of kids that was expressed to me that my kid was hanging around the mean girl crew. Last week of school was my last straw and at this point I was disgusted and outraged with her teacher. Student boy said some really mean stuff to my kid like my child will never be anything, she was dumb and he was she wish she was dead- the last part I didn’t tell her but the goal was to see was she even going to resolve the issue and get back with me. Sadly she didn’t I have not heard anything from this teacher since. This was hear say from another student to my daughter. I explained to the teacher what took place and the whole conversation was this is one of my top students this child would never say that - Deflecting - I felt my issue was less important because this was her top student and honestly she showed me that because I still have not heard anything. I trust her to handle an issue of this magnitude made me feel like my child was telling lies but teacher did state that she thought this issue was resolved so she knew there was an issue. Last week of school was when I heard about it an expressed it to the teacher she made it very clear she was going to take care the last week of school no call/ no feedback. Last, week of school was my child’s last day she never returned nor did the teacher call to find out if her student was okay but she was actively marking her absent so she was very aware she was not there. 06/19/2023 was the day I put a stop to it. same group of kids have been calling and once again harassing my child about he say she say. My child will not be attending this school next year and it sad because this was the only school in Rockdale she could attend - so my child will be homeschooled to preserve her mental health from the trauma, stress and anxiety she experienced from this school. A lot of the staff at the school was pleasant and nice that I have came across. This my experience base on one teacher and my reason for taking my child out that environment.

My son studied there and he likes his school and the teachers who taught him were very good

This school needs a lot of help in the leadership department. It seems as though things are always half done. The staff is constantly mis informed and the receptionist is regularly unaware of the logistics in regards to the school. The financial person seems to always have a chip on her shoulder. The school is so run down that she should be happy to take my payment. The teachers and staff are all dressed like they are on their way to the local Walmart. Bottom line is this school has a lot of potential but they just need to have a complete overhaul in the leadership department. They could also use a visit from extreme makeover to give the school a fresh new look. Make the school look like a school. My child's teacher is awesome and I give her 5 stars, but I could only speak for her because I do not know the other teachers. Due to the poor quality of the school and staff I will not be enrolling my child at Victory next year.

Excellent teachers that know each student's strengths and limitations and they build upon both. Their students know that they care about them as people and about their success in the future..
