School Reviews
2 4/14/2016
The Atlanta Elementary school has a wonderful gardening program called Junior Master Gardener. They are also kind enough to offer an after school program for students that is extremely beneficial for working parents. The teachers at this school are snobby and do not sympathize with parents. All they are worried about are the numbers they get back from tests. They make a family feel like they are just another statistic. The parking is horrible because there is none. You have to go over the curb and park on the grass. When there are large events, there is no parking. Everyone parallel parks up and down the street until there is nowhere else. If you want a school that understands a parent's work/life balance then you should look elsewhere.
