Cox Mill High School

My son attended Highland Creek Elementary from Kindergarten through 5th grade. Attending this school was like hitting the lottery at a top~rated private school. Thanks to Principal Saxton’s leadership, this school is set up like a healthy family with him as the loving parent whose character and values impact every aspect of the school’s environment. The teachers care and encourage students to strive for excellence. Mr. Anderson ensures order and safety. There is joy among the student body due to Principal Saxton and the teachers creating an attitude of oneness. HCE helped give my son a great start in life and prepared him for the increased responsibility of middle school. Thank you Principal Saxton, Ms. Bullis, Ms Kern, Ms. Knight, Ms. Essler, Ms. Wright, Ms. Burnett, Ms. McNinch, Ms. Judd, Mr. Anderson, Debbie in the front office and all of Highland Creek staff for giving my son Layden such a positive and memorable experience. My prayers are with you and may God continue to bless you and this school.

Horrible school for Middle School. If you are looking at this school for High School it is good. If you are looking at this school for Elementary School it is good. Middle School is here is the worse. The teachers are not good at all. The amount of problems at this school is out of control. From fights in the bathroom close to once a week. Having students bullied and not getting any help. This school is everything but good for middle school. If you are looking at this school for middle school never come here. It is the worse I have ever seen. It is probably better to just go to the public school. This is claimed to be a "international school" but the amount of bullying is insane. Especially bullying of certain races. I get that middle school is a time for kids to realize that they need to change their life either for the better or for the worse. However that does not make it normal for kids getting attacked in the bathroom for no reason. And it makes no opportunity for the school to not care about racial bullying. Now some of the teachers are amazing. But most of them are horrible. This is hands down THE WORST MIDDLE SCHOOL I HAVE EVER SEEN. So either this school needs to fix themselves up or just give up. If your going to make your students suffer. I don't think it's worth keeping your school open. So the reader of this message. If you are looking for a school for your child. This is not the one.

I wanted to share how thankful I am for our experience at W.R. Odell Primary this year. From the very beginning, we felt genuinely welcomed. The school has a strong sense of community: warm, supportive, and truly connected. Families, teachers, and staff work together in a way that makes the school feel safe, inclusive, and full of positive energy. You can really see that everyone is committed to helping the children grow not only academically, but also socially and emotionally.My son’s classroom has been another wonderful part of this journey. It’s an environment that feels organized, engaging, and calm, exactly what young learners need. The teacher create a space where the children feel confident, encouraged, and curious. I love how the classroom blends structure with creativity, giving the students clear routines while still allowing them to explore, try new things, and express themselves. My son comes home happy, excited about what he learned, and proud of the little achievements he makes each day.I am truly grateful for the care, dedication, and kindness we’ve received. Thank you for making our family feel at home in this community.Wishing everyone a warm and joyful Thanksgiving!

I see very good improvement of my kid who is going to kindergarten . He started speaking so well and describing all activities happening in school and i see very good improvement in writing as well.

The reviews about a lack of diversity are 100 percent true! The staff is extremely nasty and hateful towards minority parents, I’m afraid for my child at this school because of the way they treat minorities. The only parents praising this school are not people of color. I have never interacted with a nastier group of teachers and staff members. It may be in a somewhat nicer neighborhood but it’s not a good place for children of color!

I had a disappointing experience with this school regarding my son. Despite our hopes for support, it became clear that he wasn't considered a candidate for their program, which left us feeling undervalued and ignored. We were promised a report that we never received, and the lack of communication was frustrating.When we arrived for the "shadow day," we were disappointed to find that neither my son nor I were greeted by the teacher. In fact, she never introduced herself, nor did she share her credentials even though we previously asked in an email. It was concerning to witness such a lack of basic manners and introductions on his first day in the class. I truly believe behavior is a form of communication, but with such a small class size, it was disheartening that he didn’t receive the individualized attention he needed. Overall, we felt overlooked and disappointed with the level of care and support provided. We expected better and hope they do better in the future.
