Harbour Oaks Montessori School

We have only experienced GREAT things at Grayson Elementary-- our star scholar is excelling in academics and socially..... We made the best decision to come to Grayson Elementary for my child's elementary school experience. Love the Grayson, GA area as well....... Grayson Elementary is so supportive of creating a wonderful learning environment rich with introductions and support of cultural diversity, which is very refreshing........ I have all GREAT things to say about this school--- it has been a blessing for my child and my family!!!!!

My main issue with this school has been with the front office staff, both during events and at other times. There has been an instance where I truly felt that race played a factor in how I was treated, which is very concerning. (And other parents sharing my race) I believe everyone should be treated fairly and equally, but I have noticed that rules are not applied consistently and seem to be enforced selectively.I am also a very non-confrontational person, so feeling singled out or mistreated as a parent who is simply involved and cares about her children is both confusing and upsetting.My oldest son has attended this school for the past two years, where he has excelled and was accepted into the gifted program. My younger son, currently in kindergarten, has also excelled and was accepted into the gifted program. Their time and growth at this school are very important to me.I do appreciate that the school offers enjoyable PTA events, and the teachers have always communicated well with me.Aside from my concerns with the front office staff, I am happy with the education my children are receiving.

Our family has had a wonderful experience at this elementary school, and we couldn’t be happier with the environment it has provided for both of our children. Across grade levels, communication has been strong, expectations are clear, and the staff genuinely partners with families.It’s evident that the leadership and teachers work as a team to create a positive school culture. Our children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn each day, which speaks volumes.

I am a mother who grew up in an underfunded public school. This experience made me want to homeschool my children to ensure they are getting the best attention and education. Well, when it became time to enroll in kindergarten I checked out Rosebud and was thoroughly impressed by how well maintained the school was as well as many of the faculty and staff. My son has now been going to the school since kindergarten and had the most amazing teacher for entering school: Mrs. Squires!! She certainly challenged the kids and had lots of homework but it was all worth it in the end. Mrs. Squires always said she wanted her kindergarteners to be at second grade level leaving her class. I thought this was an amazing approach. The following two years were okay. However this year of third grade, his set of teachers are once again, PHENOMENAL. Principal Holmes, seems to care greatly about the performance of the cohorts moving through her school which is also highly appreciated. If you are on the fence about elementaries in the Gwinnett area this is not one to be concerned about.

Trip ES is a great school and Dr. Hill's leadership is evident in and around the school : )
