Parklane Elementary School

I have had two children to come through CAE and I can say each year it gets better. The former principle was engaging and the new principle is implementing new ideas to peak the children's interest in the outside world. Maybe its just me, but I haven't seen any other elementary school have a student body government voted for by the actual student body (even the "pre-Kers"). The school is even STEM/STEAM certified. I am an active parent that feels welcomed by the faculty and staff of the school. I have a child that still attends Cleveland, he is gifted and could attend a more "prestigious" school, but I don't think that school would appreciate and nurture his talents and interests as well as CAE. I would (and have) recommended CAE to others.

I don't like this school! My grand daughter gets bullied,, she tells the teacher, the teacher ask if she's bleeding or hurt.. my granddaughter says no.. so she told to go back to her desk with no conversations with any of the bullies!!!! Other things have happened at this school but I will not get into it! SO THIS SCHOOL IS A HARD NO! going to start looking into other schools for my babies! 0 stars!

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.

AMAZING! The students there are very well mannered and respectful. When I entered the classrooms, they all greeted me "Hello, Good Morning, or Hi" then got back to working. The school is good for people with families with low income which fills up more than half of the school. The faculty is very nice.

"Woodward has proven to be an exceptional school. After transferring from a smaller private institution, I was initially concerned about my daughter’s ability to adjust to the larger campus environment. She transitioned seamlessly and has flourished in every aspect. Woodward provides a rigorous academic program, complemented by outstanding opportunities in the arts, athletics, and a wide range of extracurricular activities."

Excellent academic program; new building better than old facility but new facility needs some work too. Excellent program for all grades because children are taught a grade ahead. Recommend enrolling kids in K3 &K4 to keep up with Kindergarten students. Kindergarten are a 1st grade class.
