Abundant Grace Academy

Continental Colony Elementary School is not an ideal environment for teachers. The students can be disrespectful and even abusive, making it difficult for educators to do their jobs effectively. Unfortunately, the administration does not offer much support.The principal lacks compassion and does not foster a supportive atmosphere for staff or students. She seems detached from the school community, to the point where many students don’t even recognize her as the principal—they assume Mr. Gomillion is in charge instead. Favoritism is also a major issue, as certain staff members receive preferential treatment while others are left to struggle.Overall, this school needs major improvements in leadership, student behavior management, and teacher support. Until those changes are made, it’s not a great place for educators looking for a positive and professional work environment.

I fought with Fulton County to get my child changed to a better school. They allowed us to attend Conley Hills and this school is just is bad if not worse than the school she was assigned to. They have no organization. The teachers and staff are very rude to the children. The librarian told a group of 5th graders they won't make it to college. What kind of thing is that to say to children for their moral. The principal will never talk to parents she will push you off on every other person instead of talking to you. It took me forever to figure out who the principal was because she's not upfront or forward. She has the same attitude that the rest of her staff has. They all have attitudes and I've complained multiple times about the way the staff doesn't smile or greet the children in the morning. They only yell at the kids and talk down to them. My daughter tells me stories about what she has to experience on a daily basis and it breaks my heart. We are just trying to make it out of this school year and we will add this to our forgotten memory bank.

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!

I am a current parent and my student is flourishing. The school has great staff and admin. Even at the front desk I know my child is safe and learning when I drop her off. The family events were well planned and her kindergarten teacher and paraprofessional were phenomenal!

The academic quality here is superb-- the K-1 class learns cursive, addition and subtraction, and phonics-based reading that is well beyond what the local public schools offer. The children's behavior is very well monitored and it really is a family atmosphere. The only downside is that the administration can tend to "fly by the seat of their pants." All in all the school is an amazing bargain for private education.

This daycare has received 276 citations from the state childcare board in the past two years. There is glass and trash on the playground, massive amounts of unsupervised children, and a lack of care from staff. Please do not send your children here, and look at the citation history on Georgia daycares before choosing one for your child
