Sarah Moore Greene Elementary / Magnet

The teachers in this school go the extra mile and then some for their students. The administration however will do whatever it takes to squash the hopes, dreams, and joy of those teachers. Many teachers dread coming to work everyday solely because of the way administration runs the place. They are not allowed to do what is best for children because of the egos in the office. They are limited to reading scripts and doing things all the same way. The teachers are great, but are being held back from their full potential.

My oldest has been at SKE since Pre-K and is now headed to Kindergarten, and my youngest starts Pre-K tomorrow! We’ve had nothing but great experiences — the teachers and staff are so caring and make learning fun. SKE feels safe, welcoming, and like a second home for our family.

My husband I messed up. While house hunting last year I was always vigilant in checking the school district first. Then one weekend I didn't check the district's for the houses we were going to see. Fell in love with the house but we're now stuck here. I will definitely be home schooling for middle and we plan to sell this place before my kids reach High school. No way in hell would I send them to Fulton. We thought the Elementary school wouldn't be so bad. Until my then 8 year old daughter came home in the first week in tears. She was shunned and bullied because she's smart and soft spoken. Straight A honor roll student. A group of girls made fun of her and told her they won't be her friend because she's white. Seriously. Up until that point she and her older brother by a year were unaware that racism is a thing. Tried to email and call the teacher about it and never got a response. I'm absolutely disgusted. My two older ones have been going here since April 2017 and my youngest will be starting Kindergarten in August. Hopefully we can move before then.

We have been at First Lutheran for 5 years now and have enjoyed every moment. My kids are excited to get to school in the mornings and happy when I pick them up from school. The culture of the school is warm and welcoming and accepting of kids of all types of personalities and interests. We love First Lutheran and consider everyone there as family.

I attended this school 1st through 12th grade and loved it. The teachers are very supportive not only in your schoolwork, but to help you with personal life issues you may be dealing with. The students there are very kind for the most part, and there is not any bullying that I was ever aware of that was never addressed. I would highly suggest having your child attend if they are looking for a close family-like atmosphere to grow up in, teachers that will help pick you up, become academically advanced, and be able to join the many clubs and sports that Berean offers to fit everyone's likes. I felt like Berean never forced us as students to only believe a certain way, rather I felt like every teacher provided solid foundational grounds for you as an individual to grow and decide in. The teachers grew into family and treated us as individuals. There has never been a time when I felt like I was forced to believe in any opinion or belief of another teacher that would renounce myself as a Christian. I firmly believe that no teachers at Berean ever made any student feel like they were not a Christian based off their choices, made them feel ashamed for being a female or male in the dress code, or ever felt bullied by a teacher. Strongly recommend this school to anyone! I was way ahead in all of my college courses compared to my peers who attended public school, I was granted a scholarship by Berean as was most of my classmates, and I personally felt more prepared for real adult life after attending Berean and stepping into college!
