Teachers have nasty attitudes towards service workers they ask to be there. I don't recommend doing any services for these people very ungrateful. Teachers place food orders and multiple different ones for multiple different classrooms and these aren't small orders they are big ones. One teacher ins
Posted by a community member on 12/29/2025We came to Southwest for the Dual Language Immersion program in Spanish when we moved from Atlanta a few years ago…and we not only love the DLI culture but also the school culture in general!

Southwest is a perfect example of how dedicated staff can do so much, despite state legislators trying to suffocate public schools, SWE is the "Little Engine That Could."

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageW.G. Pearson Elementary is a fantastic school. I've seen significant growth in my daughter's education in her very first year here. Teachers are warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and well equipped. There are many ways to get involved as parents, and Principal Dorsey is extremely communicative on this aspect. I'm impressed with the amount of communication I receive from this school about upcoming activities, ways to support and engage, and even individual communication from teachers to help guide my child in the right direction based on what the teacher feels is most relevant to your child. I highly recommend this school!Parent Review3mo ago - Quality Education Institute
