Mount Olive Elementary School

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.

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

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.

My daughter has been attending this school for the past three years. We both love it the staff is very welcoming and they genuinely care about all of the students.
