This is our second year at Chestnut, and unfortunately it has been the worst. Students are being taught reading foundations primarily on Chromebooks, with little insight into instruction. Communication from our child’s teacher is extremely limited unless supplies or snacks are needed. Grades are oft
Posted by a parent on 1/12/2026As of Dec 2025, Chestnut is one of the best elementary schools in Dunwoody and for that matter, Dekalb county.

Posted by a parent on 7/18/2025Chesnut is wonderful. I love how equally diverse the school is and that all subgroups are performing well. The school has many activities for kids to get involved with and my son loves being a Chesnut Cougar.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVanderlyn is one of the best, if not THE best elementary school in Georgia. We moved from Vanderlyn to a “top preforming” school district and the difference is palpable. Principal Crenshaw is absolutely incredible, as was my child’s teacher.

The school really minimized instruction interruptions, and I was grateful for that from a safety perspective. Consider yourself lucky if your child is able to attend Vanderlyn.Parent Review1y ago - Montgomery Elementary School
