Read what parents are saying about Shannondale Elementary SchoolTeachers are involved in the community, parents are involved in the school. Great communication. Gives you the feel of a small private school within the public school system.
Posted by a parent on 5/28/2018Sad they need to pick it up. If that is one of the best schools in this side of Knox County then the school system needs to pick things up and re-vamp.
Posted by a parent on 12/27/2017I can not say enough good things about Shannondale. The teachers are amazing. There are plenty of extra challenges for those children who excel and extra help for those kids who are falling behind. The current principal has been there for 2 years now. He is very hands on and really cares about the kids and the teachers. The parental and community support is phenomenal. The Shannondale Foundation has done a great job of raising money for extra technology and teaching assistants. The school just gets better and better every year!
Posted by a parent on 2/19/2014We have had a child in the school for three years and every year has been outstanding. The parental involvement is great. The school has a foundation that works hard to raise money for the school's children. It is also having major renovations being done now that will make it even better!
Posted by a parent on 2/18/2014My son has just completed his kindergarten year at Shannondale and I am extremely pleased with the school and staff. His teacher (Mr. Cameron) was AMAZING. My son loved going to school and his vocabulary, confidence, and self esteem are throu the roof. I am excited about his first grade year.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI Absolutely Love Ritta! The Staff are always welcoming, engaging, and extremely helpful. Administrators communicate and inspire both parents and students. The Principals know every single child by name and engage with them on both an Academic and Personal level. They are working to instill our children with Integrity, Compassion, Commitment, Honesty, Strong Work Ethic, Understanding, and Kindness. They strive to give students a love of learning as well as a safe place to discover their own unique abilities. Teachers at Ritta are so Passionate about what they do. The Teachers my son has had so far have been Absolutely Amazing. They have taken the time, effort, and commitment to help bring him out of his shell. The amount of Love they pour into their classrooms is inspiring. My son wants to go to school every single day, with hardly ever a complaint, because he has found Joy in Learning. I credit that to his Teachers. Ritta Elementary is Truly an Amazing School. I could not and would not Ever dream of taking my son away from this school.Parent Review4y ago - Fountain City Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent of a special needs kid, do not send your kid here. They allow kids to elope outside of the school, they don’t tell you, the teachers bully the special needs kids and allow other students to bully the kids. I pulled my kid from this school because he wasn’t safe there. Some teachers want what’s best for the kids but their hands are tied by administrators.Parent Review10mo ago - Spring Hill Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 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.Parent Review5y ago - Garden Montessori School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter attended NWMS for 5 years, and in that time, we saw her go from being an enthusiastic and curious learner to hating anything academic, especially school. She didn't learn to read, and, in fact, the school encouraged us to get her tested for learning disabilities and ADHD (this is very common - they suggest most kids get tested and/or seek counseling because it is ALWAYS the kid's problem, and not the school's problem - according to them, of course). We had to get tutoring outside of school because the school is not equipped to offer any help or additional assistance. I will also add that they teach from a whole language approach instead of teaching phonics, and as a result, most students there suffer from "dyslexia" and have reading struggles for years. And if that isn't enough to deter you, the teachers and staff say that they use positive discipline, but children as young as 3 are put in time out in the hall (alone), yelled at by adults, and/or sent to the admin's office, and children are sent home and kicked out routinely. Bullying is a huge problem, with students not being encouraged to share or include others, and the teachers favor some kids over others. They wanted to send my daughter home for acting out some after we had a new baby - she was attempting to get attention from friends by talking during work time, nothing crazy! She has been attending another Montessori school in the area and learned to read, fluently and at grade level, in one year due to proper instruction. Her new school said it was obvious she had school trauma from attending NWMS, and that they frequently see that with kids who switch from NWMS. Heed my advice and make a better choice for your child.Parent Review10mo ago - St Joseph School
