Temple Baptist School

This school sucked and the teachers sucked. Especially the principal. They ignored our emails and texts after we told them our son had some extra measures that needed to be taken to help him with school. They are emotionally numb and only care about white kids…

Very open-minded and creative, experiential school. I am really happy to have my child go here. It’s not pretentious, overly controlling or rigid and yet the academics are stellar as well. They have a garden and outdoor activities, and a number of good teachers.

Terrible school. No communication with parents, no homework makes it difficult for parent to help child when child is struggling and don't understand work because we have no clue what they are even learning in school. As an educator of children you would think when child is not understanding there school work that they would at least try and help them and teach them. Not at this school they would rather just publicly humiliate the kid the kid in front of other students for not completing work. Not completing a paper in class my child was told he won't be able to attend class Christmas party even though I had previous agreement with teacher that work that he didn't get completed in school would get sent home so we could make sure he completes it. This paper never got sent home and he came home crying because he didn't understand it didn't get it done and wasn't going to be able to attend classroom Christmas party! Absolutely disturbing to me how they single kids out and publicly humiliate them in front of other students and don't even have the decency to communicate with parents child being in trouble or even what's going on with their child for that matter! This school has a D in buncombe county and it don't even deserve that honestly! Do yourself a favor and enroll kid in different school if you had a chance.

Terrific teachers and Principal at Asheville’s Johnston Elementary. This is a school I would want my children to attend.

Our family loves Rainbow! Our son has been in both Preschool classes and is now in Kindergarten. He also participates in the before school, after school, and summer camp programs. The teachers and administration are EXCELLENT. They really care about the kids, but they also care about the parents as well. Everything is thoughtfully planned and communicated. We love their “Seven Domains” model of education in which social and emotional development are just as important as intellectual development. And finally, there truly is a “community” among families and staff, which helps us to feel a sense of belonging!

It was OK there was some things that made me disappointed
