Garrett Heights Elementary School

the teachers here are rude, and dont really care abt students. one off the math teachers cursed at a student bc someone asked for help.

Teachers here seem to think its a fashion show :) on the other side I had good experiences with my child teacher although for some reason I didn't meet all of them just the 1st teacher they see through the day .I do feel they share to many things with there students such as pregnancy related things I understand the excitement but some things I do not want my child to start wanting to be more curious about before the maturity is set in also such as what they do on there personal time etc while I do see that they trying to build a relationship with the students what about the parents because they are the one trusting you with there children during the day I only met one teacher out of 4/5 .I do take some accountability for missing back to school night but I'm sure I wasn't the only parent to do so I attended parent chaperone training's and still only met one . During bad weather they take a little long making it safe for the children to enter safely though I did see pictures on dojo they would show them in front of it during some removal. Did'nt receive much help with children mental health services not sure if this the only school that doesn't but the prior school my child attended was giving help with community resources etc..

This school lacks effective leadership. The individuals that work there are out of touch with reality. Staff members has an issue with the way they communicate effectively with the children. Yelling at someone’s child is wild to me but I’m that parent that’s not going for none of that. Staff members are to lead by example, help shape the kids for the future not yell and deprive them of fun activities when children need that time to debrief. There needs to be new staff in office and throughout. My child will not be returning there for the new school year. One year was enough for me and my baby girl. Yorkwood did not exceed my expectations. No, I don’t recommend this school to any parent who wants the best most effective learning experience for their child(ren).

This school should really be shutdown! They can’t keep a principal or teachers at this school. The administration has no idea what they are doing. The children there are being verbally and emotionally abused by the staff.They are being bullied by other children and the administration ignores all of our concerns. This year teachers and few administrator staff have quit and walked off the job. I would not send my child here.

Mount Zion Baptist Christian School is phenomenal! Not only do students receive rich academic training but they also grow in spiritual wisdom and Christian character! They train children to be whole, wise, confident and compassionate individuals. Their staff and administration are accessible, knowledgeable and work well with students and parents. They really care!! We are very grateful and proud that our daughter attended this amazing school!

Both of my girls attend this school. This is the first year with one of my girls' being in Pre-School, and the other in Pre-K. So far, I'm enjoying what I see. They are learning their colors in Spanish and my oldest daughter has been using more words and knowing the letters they start with. An improvement from her being in Pre-School at another location. So far, things are working out for me and my girls. They do stress children being active and working with your children at home, and I appreciate that because it is a team effort.
