Gadsden Elementary School

Awful school full of awful teachers and a lack of caring for any of the students

Fantastic school with great teachers, wonderful administrators, and a very high level of parent involvement.

This school needs to eliminate the word Christian from its name because favoritism and hypocrisy are valued. If you are an alumni parent, then your child is valued. Those not from Georgia are treated as outsiders. The school rules aren’t consistent. Certain kids, such as varsity football players can do whatever they want and face no consequences. That is not the case for other non, athletic students. There is also nepotism in hiring. If you are an alumni, have a family member who works there or you coach, it doesn’t matter how bad you teach, they will hire you over a more experienced person. There is also payola. Teachers post all over social media partying with parents , at the parents’ expense, for example a suite at UGA games, and then turn around and post how the children of these parents are their favorites. How does any of this reflect the Bible’s teachings? It doesn’t so if you are looking for a true Christian education this is not the school. Academics are just okay. Forget about any compassion or grace, especially for absences. The arts are not appreciated. Football is the highest priority, even recruiting players, giving them scholarships and allowing them to break rules. This year’s senior Football players are covered in tattoos and they flaunt them, despite the school handbook saying they need to be covered. The language the players use and even some coaches is anything but Christian. This school puts on a good image, but it is just culturally Christian, and doesn’t promote an environment modeled after Jesus. It really is sad how toxic the environment is at this school and how not Christian it really is.

As a grandparent, I want the Best education for my grandchild and I found were they offer here at Ramah Jr. Academy from Learning, Teaching ,Family Engagement, and much more!

Outstanding school! My children are learning to love learning! They are taught by dedicated, committed, caring, well-educated teachers. Small class sizes help build a community and comradery among the students and across grade levels.
