Eaton Academy

I love the community at Esther Jackson. When I've been able to visit the school in the past it has always exuded an ambiance of a happy nurturing environment. My children are excited to get on the bus each morning. I now have two children that attend the school, and I am blown away with the progress that my youngest is showing. Additionally my oldest has developed a love for reading and I can tell that this was fostered at school.

Everyone is very nice, but the principal and teachers disregard parent concerns and suggestions regarding health and safety. They will very politely tell you to go kick rocks even when presented with very simple suggestions backed by years of scholarly research. Teachers are young and inexperienced. We have been with the school 2 years and have watched our child’s interest in learning and grades consistently slide down, despite being a very intelligent and motivated student. Communication about assignments, grades, assessments, health, and the like is non-existent even with active questioning from parents.

Great support through my son’s teacher! Ms Gooden is by far the best teacher I’ve came across!

Great curriculum but unfortunately the treatment to some ethnic groups are not the same! They need to improve and get some inclusion training! My daughter was born in the USA as well my husband and we speak English in our household but base on her last name she was put in some Spanish programs which she didn’t understand and was confused! Also put on a less challenging classes!

My son has attended Atlanta Academy for middle school and it is the best decision we made for his education. Parents often hear that middle school is hard no matter where your student is at school. That is simply not the case at Atlanta Academy. The faculty and staff genuinely want their students to excel and provide support when it is needed, which has developed great self-confidence in our son. Atlanta Academy has continued to foster his love for learning and provided great in and out of classroom opportunities. While Atlanta Academy ends at eighth grade, we are confident that our son will excel in high school and beyond because of his experience at Atlanta Academy.
