Rosebud Elementary School

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.

This school has changed tremendously since the last principal left. Most of the staff not all, but a significant portion are extremely rude, and as an African American woman, the attitude and dismissiveness I have experienced from several staff members is absolutely unacceptable. I have three children who have all attended Norton, and I have lived in Snellville for more than 15 years. Over time, I have seen both the area and some of the schools decline. Concerns are often left unanswered or unresolved unless you take further action, such as reaching out to the district.The school also lacks diversity among staff, and there should be a stronger effort to reflect and represent the student population.At this point, I am planning to move by 2027, as I am done with the schools in this area. I strongly encourage leadership to either provide additional coaching for staff or consider necessary changes where appropriate. These children are our future and deserve better examples and a more respectful, responsive environment.

The school overall is beautiful exactly what you’d expect a Montessori school to be however it is abundantly clear if your child isn’t independent and neurotypical your child will not be accepted. For a school that receives special needs funding it was disappointing not to hear more of how children with special needs are supported vs how much they may not be a fit for the environment.

Loganville has a variety of fine Christian schools and HOPE3 Montessori & Christian Academy is the newest (not affiliated with any other school).
