Carolina Prep

Yes lake forest Is a good school but they would never take charge in bulling some of them would pick favorites its a good school I would recommend but some things can be fixed as my younger sister came home crying saying she wanted to change schools.

Wonderful gem of a school in the city of Greenville. We loved to this side of GVL from Simpsonville and I have to say, this school has been a fantastic place for my three children. I’ve been fortunate to have kids at Mitchell Rd Elem for 8 years now and have reaped the benefits of a school that values not just academics, but also social emotional growth. This school is also smaller than other city of GVL schools around it. The faculty has a therapeutic and trust based bend with discipline which I have loved.There are two gardens where the students have science lab. The students were able to be hands on in creating the learning lab garden and it is just beautiful. One of my students is a special education student and they shine brightly in this area as well. They have supported and helped her to grow more than I thought possible.Mitchell Rd Elem is a National Blue Ribbon School, as well. Can’t speak highly enough!

Terrible experience. My 5 year old had behavioral issues that never had before, so think due to the multiple changes (new school and family separation at home). He had in incident with his teacher on the first day and she tells me “all the other kids are good”. I complaint with the principal, and it went downhill from there. I made several changes including shortening this stay at school. After only one week at MRCA, the head of school asked me not to bring back my son the next day until he got assessed and his behavior improved. I withdrew him, got him assessed, and he is a perfectly normal toddler. He didn’t feel safe at MRCA, once he went back to his previous school he started doing very well again.

This school is easily one of the worst places you could send your child. They barely teach the required subjects unless God personally signed off on the lesson, it just doesn’t happen.They even decided I was autistic because of my eyesight, which is wild considering that’s not how anything works. And instead of actually helping, they stuck me in the back of the class like that would magically improve my vision. Stunning logic. Because of their neglect, I failed the grade and had to repeat it, not due to ability, but because I literally couldn’t see the board and they couldn’t be bothered to care.If you want your child to learn anything other than confusion and disappointment, I’d look somewhere else. This school couldn’t teach a fish to swim even if the Bible told them how.

Carolina Prep has been an amazing experience for our family. The teachers are experienced, caring, and truly invested in the kids' success. The small class sizes mean every child gets the attention they need, and it’s great being part of such a close-knit community where you get to know almost everyone.As a private, secular school for infants through 5th grade, it offers a top-tier education in a warm and welcoming environment. We love knowing our child is in a place where learning is fun, and the staff genuinely cares. Highly recommend!

Would not recommend. I went here for three years, and it severely declined over the years. The teacher got worse, and leadership decreased, and they seemed less caring about learning and the bullying because my friend was a special needs kid who got bullied so much every day. I tried to stop, but it just got worse, so I would not recommend this school, and they are facing allegations for bad things and making news headlines nver sendf yourn child here, you will severely regret it. Never go to the middle school or high school; it is worse.
