Key Elementary School

I have four children and they have all attended Carnegie. I’ve seen many teachers come and go over the years at this school but some core ones have remained and that seems to set a higher bar for new hires compared to most schools. This school attracts good teachers that care about kids. The culture is one of learning and discipline problems and any bullying is addressed swiftly. It really is a peaceful atmosphere for an elementary school and kids who behave are the norm. Kindergarten and first grade teams are phenomenal.

This school is a danger to children’s safety and mental health and should be shut down!

Oh camp director/ assistant principle at Salk is terrible and SO RUDE! We had an issue at Summer Camp and she was supposedly a music teacher before becoming admin. I am so sorry but she is not qualified at all to be an assistant principal. She needs experience in a regular classroom. I know TPS is desperate but still..... I am glad that my child goes to a Magnet school and if summer camp fills up at her site again we WILL NOT be back at this school for summer, we will just do something else. This school is run completely differently than the magnet school my child attends and this sort of admin would NEVER fly there with strong parental support!

This school created deep emotional wounds in my daughter. The teachers gossip about students, sometimes to other students. They have serious issues with favoritism, ableism, and bullying on the part of the students and teachers alike. Everything my daughter did was villainized and punished, from having panic attacks in class to so much as not making eye contact. She was more than a few times made an example of what not to be for the whole class, no move she ever made was good enough. She often talked of wishing she was invisible. Her “friends” were allowed to mock her freely, while she was punished for looking at them too “rudely.” This school stripped my child of her love for learning.

Peace Academy Charter School on Candler Rd., is a definite disappointment. I could say more but, I'll just say do your research before enrolling.

I am a current parent of 2 holland hall students. Great teachers and staff. They have well rounded balanced curriculum. I would highly recommend it

Zarrow is a wonderful school with many enrichments and an involved, diverse community. It is incredible to see my children becoming bilingual and bi-literate, while still excelling in the subjects they would have in a normal setting (math, science, reading). The building isn’t much to look at but what happens within the building is magical. We came from a private school in the area and couldn’t be happier.
