Low Elementary School

These people put an autistic child in a plywood box and called it a “cool down box”. WTOC has the article! DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT SEND YOUR BABY HERE!!!

No. Just not a good school, I’m afraid. There were three good teachers here. The rest were lazy, disorganized teachers. They’re all about telling you what they won’t do for your child.

Stay far away from Calvary. They put off an image on social media that they are Christian based but the administration acts far from it. They discriminate against any child who shows signs of disability by falsely accusing them of behavioral issues. Stories of incident's are inconsistent and out of character for your child, and administration is dismissive when confronted. Dr. Chadwick admitted mismanagement and lack of training between the ELC and lower school program. Our son went through there evaluations in ELC and then the Bridge To pre-k summer program. We were informed he was absolutely ready for pre-k, that we would be doing a disservice to him keeping him back. Example being, there was an Activity on the wall in the summer program where he was the only student who finished it. With an August birthday, we were prepared to do that but trusted them with our child’s future.I won’t pretend my child is perfect, He is a normal 4 year old with high energy, but very intelligent. Once we informed them, especially his pre k teacher, he was on a waitlist to be evaluated for ADHD, things changed. He was sent home almost daily with accusations of incidents that made him seem feral. His art work wasn’t being displayed on the walls like the other kids. When asked to review camera footage to see some of these claims we were denied and dismissed which raises safety concerns. We asked Dr. Chadwick what steps were being taken to help progress training and certifications for children, especially the Covid babies entering that level. He dismissed us stating the desire for “partnership” had been broken. Our son was dismissed from the pre-program 2 weeks after the start of the school year. They had very little remorse or desire to work with us as we tried everything possible. They didn’t care as they cut off Communication. They took our money and ran offering no refund. They kept most of his school supplies we bought. Now our 4 year old has no school, and is on waitlists after the year has started. The emotional damage he has received by now saying he’s scared to go back to big kid school is irreversible. Calvary should be reviewed by the U.S board of education for lack of certifications and discrimination.

Finding a new private school for my two young girls on short notice was a stressful challenge, especially as a widow and a single, working parent. My standards for a school are the highest they could possibly be, and The Habersham School has exceeded every single one of them. This school has been an absolute blessing to our family.Everything about Habersham is outstanding. They provide a truly Christ-centered education, strong academics, and a fantastic house system with excellent teachers and leadership. My daughters have never been so genuinely happy to go to school; they are inspired and motivated every day.As a parent, I now feel confident in my girls' future, knowing they are getting the best possible foundation. I will be recommending this school at all times. Simply the best private school we could have ever found! Thank you for having us.
