Kennesaw Elementary School

We’ve had a wonderful experience at Hayes Elementary. The teachers are deeply committed to providing a strong educational foundation, and safety is clearly a top priority. I also appreciate how involved parents are encouraged to be—it truly feels like a community!

We absolutely love Bullard. The teachers are truly exceptional - caring, dedicated, and invested in each child. They create a nurturing classroom environment while still maintaining high academic standards. My children are excited to go to school every day. The principal is equally impressive and sets a positive tone for the entire school. He is extremely visible, approachable and clearly committed to academic excellence. We are so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful school community and highly recommend it to any family looking for an excellent elementary school.

As an Alumni, I implore you to send your kids anywhere else. Will they be college ready? Sure. That’s about the only benefit. The administration have all known each other for years, and will make excuses/ back each other up no matter what. They make examples out of children who make mistakes while taking no accountability themselves. I graduated a few years ago and after having several years of true adulthood under my belt, I have yet to meet a more hypocritical, graceless, judgmental, group of people (And I work in healthcare). A majority of teachers hired are personal friends or friends of friends, regardless of qualification. Teachers children/ children whose parents donate are favored and it’s very apparent, speaking from experience. If your child does not fit their mold, they will be treated as they as lesser than. I graduated with my faith hanging on by a thread. There are a very small handful of teachers there who I think stay to try to make a difference. I owe them everything.

So personally I am writing this review as I went to fbcs for around 6 years and then I left to go to a diffrent school. This schools teaching ability’s are no where near good, it is basically no man left behind. We had 4 lockdowns in the span of a year when I was in fifth grade. The only good teacher was the principal and 1st grade teacher. I would never send my future kid here, when I was bullied nobody cared. I hated this school. I would never reccomend it to anyone, it’s worst than a public school

This school has been such a huge part of our lives for the past three years. My son just finished his Kindergarten year here and is starting first grade, and I honestly couldn’t be more proud of how far he’s come.The Montessori approach has been amazing for him. I’ve seen him grow so much, not just academically but as a person. He learned to read, started writing in cursive, and really got a solid understanding of math concepts, all at his own pace. But what I love even more is how confident, independent, and respectful he’s become. He’s developed such a love for learning, and I truly credit that to the environment this school has created.One of the things that made me feel so comfortable early on was how safe and nurturing the school feels. The teachers are kind, patient, and clearly love what they do. I always felt like my son was in good hands.Communication with the staff has also been great. Any time I had a question or concern, they were always quick to respond and happy to talk things through. It really feels like a partnership.I’m so grateful we found this school and that my son had the chance to experience these early years in such a thoughtful and caring environment. Highly recommend to any parent looking for something more than just a traditional classroom.
