Read what parents are saying about Marietta Center For Advanced AcademicsExcellent school with well-qualified faculty. Students love it and so do parents. It is a gem.
Posted by a parent on 9/25/2023Before I provide a review, I think it is important to give context to the journey it took to get to this school. At first, my wife pointed out this small school (MCAA) to me years before I ever heard great things about it. We initially had our daughter attend Addison Elementary School, but we did not find the core leadership to have enough equity in its ranks to comprehend the diversity amongst its student population. We decided it was best to transfer her to a more culturally conscious setting. Therefore, we moved her to Mountain View Elementary. The school was more befitting than expected and hit all the right marks on this front. However, I had the end goal to buy some time here until we could be accepted into one of the few STEM certified Elementary Schools at the time. I thought this would help accelerate our daughter into the growing wave of parent STEM sentiment to instill right into your children for career security. Nevertheless, we were fortunate to be accepted into MCAA as out of district. The school is structured very well and I attributed this to the principal, Dr. Patterson. She is a relentless "present" leader to the point where you will see her daily at the end of the day for carpool, saying hello and managing it. The school is small, but it is super packed in with resources, numerous fun and educational field trips for students throughout the year, and even makeups when things go awry (weather related). The staff always look involved and caring. My daughter has attended all 3 years and as we near our last term, I am sad, but extremely grateful for the support she received, friends she made, and the school for being a well run oiled machine where you cannot see or feel the rust ever. The work in this school is challenging and though my daughter was not in the gifted program, I can only imagine how much more rigor there would be in this setting. If you have the opportunity, at least check out the school, meet some of the staff, and keep an open mind to the small, but powerful punch this school packs in helping your child exceed a little farther than they even expect themselves.
Posted by a parent on 1/2/2023My two daughters go here and are thriving. Both are extremely smart but learn differently MCAA teachers catered to both learning styles. Though the curriculum is challenging its not overwhelming. The entire faculty and staff are awesome and they love this school!
Posted by a parent on 5/15/2020I have had two sons go through MCAA - both very different kids with different learning styles and they both thrived at this school! There is rigor but nothing that overwhelms the students. The children genuinely enjoy being there as do the teachers and staff which is evident if you walk through the building.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePowers Ferry is a hidden gem in Cobb County that has done wonders for our child! The school frequently hosts special nights or weekend events and there is great family engagement. Our son struggles with ADHD and impulsivity and he has been shown nothing but love and support. He is excited to go to school and excited to come home and share what he is learning.Parent Review1y ago - Sedalia Park Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe worst school in Marietta, Ga. Administration is a joke, while they think/pretend that they are the most talented and experienced people in the world. Almost 70% of them behave in an unprofessional manner. A lot of times, we observed that they mistreated students/ minors... if the staff likes you; you can get away with anything... their language in the school area proves that they don’t know what an academic institution means. They say anything like to kids. Kids learn nothing unless you help them out. ..teachers don’t give homework, use most of their time calling parents related to disciplinary issues. In short, they need to first learn what an academic institution has to offer to improve personal as well as professional skills of 4-11 yrs old kids. They should set an example with their manners. smh!!Parent Review10mo ago - Covenant Christian Ministries Academy

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love how that like to pickup children and then put them under medium heat doe 4 hours while checking every 30 min. That also do wonders with their bbq sauce choices. They truly do everything you would ever want or need.Parent Review11mo ago - Faith Lutheran School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey do NOT support students with learning disabilities! My PreK child was expelled in the middle of the school year. The Head of School told me they are not legally required to have resources for learning disabilities. Despite my family paying alot in tuition, my child was denied an education b/c of his disability. That's discriminatory! My child now has anxiety, is depressed, and has been crying everyday and night! He entered this school as a happy, joyful 5 year old. He left broken and I have to pick up the pieces and put him back together. I will continue to spread the word about our horrific experience at this school.Parent Review3mo ago - Atlanta Gifted Academy
