Ralph M. Captain Elementary School

Love Wilkinson. My son is my second child there. I wish it went past 2nd grade. That is literally my only complaint. The teachers are super involved and so is the parent community. I have had kids in several slps schools and there is no parent community this close. I really love it! I would also like to add that my kids have excelled so much thanks to Wilkinson.

For the amount of tuition paid to this school, they should have: up to date technology where children have their own computers and not have to go to the computer lab that has broken computers, a decent playground area for children, where the equipment is not broken, maintenance staff for cleaning, and a real administrative staff. No gym equipment for children during PE. There is no programs included in the tuition as advertised on the website, these are outsourced programs that are additional paid outside of the tuition. There are 2 grade levels in each in classroom. I was proud of my child going to an all black school, but it really lacked and did not meet up to what we were paying every month at all. Very overpriced. The one good thing that I can say is my child gained more discipline in his learning, but that was due to the excellent teacher that will not be returning. Then had the nerve to increase the cost for the next year. Please, I did not bring my child back the following year. Mr Wilson you could do better.

I enrolled my two brown children here to learn about God and get a formal learning of the Bible the school canceled their enrollment because “the financial institution” they use sent me a different payment plan from what I was originally told about. Bill was super rude I did not see the love of God from the school. All things works for the good of those who love him Rom 8:28

Forsyth School is a remarkable place--where academic achievement and challenge are supported by focus on the whole child. Work in sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and community building is shared by the entire school community--faculty, staff, students and caregivers. The result is JOY!

A Hidden Gem with Transformative MagicWhen we first considered St. Michael’s Episcopal Day School, I was actually a bit concerned that the class sizes might be too small. I worried that my children might miss out on the social dynamics that come with larger classrooms. But what we discovered instead was something truly special—an intangible magic that’s hard to put into words but has been absolutely transformative for both of my kids.The level of one-on-one attention each student receives is extraordinary. Teachers here don’t just teach—they know each child. They take the time to understand their interests, strengths, and areas where they need extra support. For example, homework packets are not necessarily the same for each child--they are tailored for a bespoke fit based on each child's academic path and needs. This allows for a truly individualized learning experience that has helped my children grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability.Another thing that sets St. Michael’s apart is the incredible sense of community. The collegiality between grade levels is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Older students mentor younger ones, and there’s a genuine sense of care and connection that runs through the entire student body. Watching my kids thrive in an environment where kindness, empathy, and mutual respect are the norm makes my heart so happy.If you’re looking for a school that nurtures not just academic excellence but also emotional intelligence and a deep sense of belonging, St. Michael’s is a rare and wonderful place.
