Newnan Classical School

Moved here from out of state for the start of the 22/23 school year. We had a 3rd & 5th grader. We are so incredibly lucky that we got Northside Elementary! The administration, teachers, paraprofessionals, office staff, janitors, lunch staff, bus drivers….its perfect.

We love this school and are impressed how effective their unique teaching style varies from each student depending on their disability or need.

I'm writing this review as a parent who has had 2 children attend White Oak K-5th. This school is horrible. They treat the children worse than prisoners. They are never allowed to speak to one another, they get silent lunch for weeks as a GRADE not just the individual students causing issues, they are constantly being told by administrators and teachers that they are "the worst", "awful", "disrespectful", and the latest from a 5th grade teacher "jerks" and "unkind people". Some, actually very few, teachers are fantastic but unfortunately they are quitting every year and their reason is always the administration. My children have perfect conduct grades and don't get in trouble. Yet they have always been punished and put down with the whole class or grade. What do you think that does to a child? Its horrible. If you're reading this in preparation to have your child attend White Oak, I beg you, please reconsider. Your child doesn't deserve the constant punishments and mean words for not doing anything but being present.

Our experience at Newnan Crossing over the last 5 years with two students has been great. Our students had/have excellent, engaging teachers, who communicate effectively with parents, and love our kids. The weekly communication from administrators and individual teachers keeps us in the know.
