Shreiner Academy

They are cruel and irresponsible. I have a non verbal child who can't tell us about his day. It's been 2 months and we still can't get a note to tell us about his day. We've done everything and it's been totally exhausting. Teachers are unaccountable. They hate parents- especially fathers. If you have an autisic child this school would be a mistake.

Powers 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.

My son is in the first grade and moved from out of state to EastValley. I am so impressed with their programming and class sizes! We have also been to the school many times for various family events including an amazing art show! We are so happy to be sending our child to EastValley!

The 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!!

My son has been in the SPK class for three years. year 1 was cool because his teacher was experienced and attentive to all of her students. the second year he was assign a new teacher who was teaching for the very first time, so we gave a LOT of grace. going into year two, there has been too many para teachers. Random "float" teachers who would have been handling my son in the bathroom and sent home a huge fist sized poop in my son's bag when he had an accident. any time I ask a basic question its typically met with an "idk it wasn't me" or "you should ask someone else I'm not sure". The icing on the cake was the parking protocol was functional in the first two years. in year three, the assistant principle who is tall and a male, approached my car with my son in it demanding I move my car because the parking system has changed. Even though there wasn't an email or message on the ck12 app. this new system involved only the SPK car riders to park in a traffic lane and literally walk across the parking lot of bus/ vans and other cars. I calmly expressed that it was dangerous, and my son gets excited for school and can run to his teacher as soon as we get out the car and his response was "hold his hand then". then he sent the campus police to me threating to "write me a ticket" for not parking in a traffic lane and away from vehicles. the cop approached me with his hand on his gun as if we weren't at a school but instead like I'm a criminal. the principal Ms. Alford and she seemed understanding to the issue and agreed the new drop off/ pick up policy wasn't the safest. she then the very next day of this talk tell my fiancé and myself that they have launched an "investigation" because I "drive wreck less" around children in their parking lot of no visual reminders of the flow of traffic and at the time no traffic enforced personnel. after the clear discrimination and segregation of my special needs son, i used the main lot to walk him to and from school for about 1.5 months. during our monthly meeting with his teacher, another AP expressed to us that we were allowed to join the NEW and safer policy for drop off and pick up with no evidence discovering that i was in fact not recklessly driving. as we joined the line, it was VERBATIM where i would park to drop and pick him up. to this day they cannot look me in my face or respond to an email. needless to say, we will never see Brumby after this school year.

Have two kids at Heards Ferry and have been very pleased. Gave it a shot rather than private school and it’s far exceeded all expectations.
