L. B. Nelson Elementary School

My child is in Kindergarten and she loves Killian elementary. Mrs. Martin is a very great teacher. My child is now reading and writing, etc. I really see a huge progress in her as opposed to before she started this school. Mrs. Martin also shows great concern when it comes to her students. She always reaches we need be. I have no complaints so far.

My experience overall has been great other than the assists at the front desk hates her job and is only there for a check her attitude reflects it in a major way. She’s the first person you encounter when entering the school and the first to make you want to walk out the door!

This school is the best school I've attended. PE is so fun. If you can get your child into this school he will learn so much.

My daughter has had the privilege of attending North Springs Elementary for six wonderful years. The principle is very friendly and a true leader who cares about his students safety and well being. The staff in the office is top notch. They go out of their way to help in any way possible. North Springs has awesome teachers. When my daughter needed help in math, her teachers gave her extra help that truly mad the difference. I will forever be appreciative for all their efforts in my daughter's education. I would like to thank Mrs. Cobb, Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Dial for being such great teachers. They are very caring and go the extra mile that is so unexpected. They really are the best teachers. I'm really going to miss this school.

Full Gospel Christian Academy is an excellent Christian school and its administration and teachers have the students at heart both spiritually and academically. So far, it has been a great experience for us to watch our sons learn and grow and we're eternally grateful for the entire staff for instilling this love of learning in our sons. They have a great foundation to build on and we look forward to the future! Way to go FGCA!!!

My wife, daughter, and I came to Columbia in 2018 due to military orders – I was stationed at Fort Jackson. My daughter was about to start Pre-k 4, and we wanted to find a good school for the 2 years we would be here. We not only found the 2-year school in St John Neumann…we found her school for the next 7 years and beyond. Instead of moving away in retirement, we stayed right here because of SJN. The culture of the school is so welcoming, kind, nurturing. It runs from the Principal and Ass’t Principal through the admin staff and to the teachers. My daughter is challenged academically…the teachers teach in a way that makes learning fun and productive. There’s no “teaching to the test” at SJN…yet, the school outperforms other schools in MAP testing. If you’re a military family, you won’t find better support for you and your kids at any other school in Columbia.
