Arete Prepatory School

This school is terrible just because they have a new principal does not mean the new principal is gonna do his job which he doesn’t. He allows his employees to disrespect the parents of the students and all he does is say he’s gonna talk to them, but the employee still continues to be disrespectful. The children aren’t learning anything and anyone could put fake reviews of saying that the school is so great in all of that this school is a terrible school if I was able to send my son to a private school I definitely would this school needs to be closed down. The principal and the assistant principal are very disrespectful and nonchalant. They treat the parents like they’re one of the kids thinking that they can say what they wanna say to you and you’re supposed to accept it like you’re one of the students rather than a parent, you ask the teachers to let you know if your children are having a hard time to give you a call. They never call you. They rather watch your child fail and give you on the report card of failing grade rather than let you know ahead of time that hay, your child is not doing so good. You might wanna work on they don’t do that. They have fun watching a child fail rather than help a child and I have no respect for the principal nor the assistant principal because the head principal, Mr. Clouser allows, his assistant principal to yell at other parents, and when they bring it to his attention, he does nothing about it.Dekalb County is gonna always be a terrible school system. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anybody even if they stay next-door to the School.Georgia cyber Academy is the best!! it’s sad that a child can learn better from a teacher over the computer than they can from a teacher standing right in their face.. i’m so over Dekalb school system. Well, I’m looking into suing the School for all the neglect and disrespect.

Stoneview Elementary is the definition of a community school. They work diligently to support all the students. I came to this school from another district that did not provide the same level of support and care. My children love their teachers and I can tell that their teachers feel the same way.

UPDATE 1/24/2023: DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HEREHORRIBLE OFFICE STAFF AND PRINCIPAL SPEARS AFRAID TO TALK TO PARENTS AT HER OWN SCHOOL.I recieved a letter regarding my daughter attendance, so the below that was stated was never addressed. But I am being persecuted, treated like a second class citizen and almost arrested because I happened to wake up a few minutes late taking my daughter to school. So my daughter can be bullied, osctracized and picked on and nothing gets addressed. BUT AS SOON AS SHE HAVE MORE THAN 10 UNEXCUSED ABSENCES THAT WERE NOT EVEN DOCUMENTED CORRECTLY, I AM IN TROUBLE AS A SINGLE PARENT DOING IT ALL BY HERSELF.THIS SYSTEM IS BROKEN AND I PRAY IT GET BETTER.My child start going here August 2022, And when I had to jump through hoops to get her enrolled I should have known it was downhill from there and to be honest it shows the disconnect between parents and the school. My daughter was being bullied nothing was done about it. My daughter was written up, I wasn't told anything about it and only found out because I came to parent teacher conference one night. I addressed this issue with theTeacher, Assistant Principal and Principal even made note of it to superintendent office.Still to this day nothing is done. I made the decision to teach my child myself through virtual learning and encourage any parent with the ability to teach their kids, I would suggest you to do so. Unless your child is somewhat robotic they will not thrive in an environment DeKalb County Schools are creating for the children in this school.

My child had a teacher who was just starting their career teaching. It was not the greatest experience for my child. The teacher didn't know how to handle a lot of things. I was so happy when we got the opportunity to leave.

The school is so small you have daycare kids regular kids after school kids in that small building.You can't even have no activities in the school that's how small it is.They are collecting special need scholarship money and it's not being utilize.You have a classroom full of kids on different grade and skill level and one teach.Small play ground area one laptop in the classroom with several kids REALLY my son got hurt and the same child is attending the school.
