Idlewild Elementary School

Probably the biggest waste of time and money i have ever spent on private education to further my sons academic development...this is a sad institution that is not accredited but lied and said they were. If there are problems with a child's learning ability you won't hear about it. This is basically a K-2 overpriced daycare. I don't speak on behalf of all parents but this is my personal experience. After the new management took over and Covid outbreak the education was totally discarded.

I was prepared for college better than most of my peers and my IC sisters are still my friends. I think all they need are some Nuns and it would be perfect.

GSL is a unique and wonderful school community that fosters the development of well-rounded students who become leaders in high schools and in our city.

This is an incredibly sweet school filled with caring teachers, admin, and staff. There is a new principal at the school this year, and she is very engaged with families. It's a smaller school environment, but I have been at the school multiple times to eat with my child, read in classrooms, and volunteer with PTA. I have never seen a negative interaction with students and their teachers. I know MSCS gets a lot of hate, and the criticisms are justified, but Peabody is a treasure and is working so hard to create a wonderful learning environment for their students and families.

I was so excited to learn that Memphis has a Performing Arts elementary school. I have never heard about an elementary school that focuses so heavily on the arts while still valuing the academic success of its students.
