Ball Camp Elementary School

Nothing terrible to say about this school besides the main office. TAMMY comes off extremely rude with a negative energy in person and over the phone. She just seems miserable everyday. Replace the unhappy with loving people. Can you imagine how the children feel around her!?

The faculty is my favorite I've ever dealt with. The principal is a lovely man... the teachers are caring and more patient than I ever could be. Sad to leave due to job transfer.

Great concept and many good people in the community, but the school has high teacher turnover due to its small, all-male board that does not have a high view of females; it’s their way or the highway. Many, many great teachers have left the school because of problems with the school leadership.

Tate’s School has been an incredible fit for our family. The teachers are deeply invested in each student and do an outstanding job balancing academic excellence with personal attention and care. They take the time to understand each child as an individual, helping them grow academically, socially, and emotionally while fostering confidence and character. Academically, Tate’s challenges students to think critically, solve problems, and develop a genuine love of learning. We especially appreciate the balance the school provides through outdoor learning opportunities, plenty of time outside, and enriching specials such as art, music, PE, computer, and Spanish. What makes Tate’s truly exceptional is its culture. There is a genuine sense of partnership between the school and families, and the teachers, staff, administration, and Tate family consistently go above and beyond to support their students. Our family has always felt known, valued, and cared for. The combination of strong academics, meaningful relationships, and a unique learning environment creates a one-of-a-kind educational experience that is difficult to find elsewhere.

Bullyng an extreme issue here. Administration sweeps students' mental health under the rug. Education not worth the cost - both the financial cost and the cost to my health.

Coach Brooke placed my granddaughter in a really uncompromising position. How could she be the only Jr that did not make the varsity team when there was no limits on players She asked what could I do to make the varsity team and the coach said there is NOTHING you CAN DO . I questioned how she deaLt with this In my 30 years as a retired teacher you always encourage student to do the best. I don’t see it here .
