This school is one of the few in the area that is not overcrowded and capped, or maxed out at 100% capacity. The student/teacher ratio is fantastic. I know my kids are getting the attention they need from their teachers. And the carpool line is almost always short! Additionally, the teachers and sta
Posted by a parent on 9/4/2024My four children love this school. The teachers and staff are so kind and engaging, and I love hearing them greet my kids as I drop them off every day. They have a nice stage, where the music teacher puts on elaborate musicals with amazing costumes and sets every year. Fourth and Fifth graders can b
Posted by a parent on 9/3/2024We recently switched to this school from Apex Elementary. There is definitely more competition/challenge here for the kids to excel. The school environment is neat and beautiful. Teachers and staff are nice. There are lot of family activiteis to get involved in. Overall, highly recommend this school
Posted by a parent on 10/29/2023This school is too crowded and as such communication with the administration is spotty at best. They couldn't meet the needs of my children, they didn't listen, they didn't have the correct resources and after a short period of time we decided not to send our kids back in the fall.
Posted by a parent on 8/12/2021Turner Creek Virtual Academy is superb. The homework assignments are fun, interactive and challenging. The assignment instructions are easy to follow and well thought out. Virtual PE classes allow kids to interact in an exciting environment through nifty dance moves, dodging virtual snowballs, and j

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had two children attend Olive Chapel so far and they are both thriving! The teachers are professional, caring, and dedicated to their craft! We have always received excellent communication from our children's teachers about what they are learning as well as how they are being supported in the classroom. Additionally, the administration does an amazing job being transparent and open to parent ideas and any concerns! It is evident the school community cares for students and are invested in their success! We are incredibly pleased with the education are children are receiving at Olive Chapel and recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for a high-quality, warm, and fun atmosphere for their family!Parent Review8mo ago - Green Hope Elementary

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchool is not good, the assistant principal is unfriendly, especially for the older kids. They improperly deal with those with special needs, never excited about school, only recess is good and some of the teachers are unfriendly. They had not given us a shirt we bought and probably frustrates a lot of students.Other Review3mo ago - Salem Elementary

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe feel fortunate that our son attends our neighborhood elementary school. It’s a nurturing and inclusive environment that prioritizes socio-emotional learning. The teachers and staff are very attentive and compassionate, helping students grow not only academically but also in confidence, empathy, and resilience. The carpool line is impressively organized, making drop-offs and pick-ups smooth and stress-free. We also love the community-building events like movie nights and fall festival. TOur son has a mild peanut allergy, and the cafeteria manager has been incredibly proactive and communicative. The school communicates well with parents and is genuinely receptive to feedback, which we truly appreciate.Parent Review7mo ago - Mills Park Elementary

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have seen this school go from a 6 rating to a 9 rating and it has been a fantastic experience. My son loves the school and his teacher, and there is a lot of parent involvement. He only has 15 kids in his class which is a great size and we have become friends with the parents of some of his classmates. The principal, Mrs Lovett, is extremely hardworking and very accessible. We love the year-round schedule, and all the kids seem to be really thriving. This school has definitely changed my opinion about public school, that is for sure! I really don't have much to complain about and we are very thankful our son can attend Laurel Park.Parent Review6mo ago - Peace Montessori School
