They bus kids in from all over the place for the Magnet, but the wait list is long, so sign up early (like seriously at birth) to ensure your kid a spot. My daughter did Transitional kinder here with Mrs. Furr, and this year tested at 2nd grade level in reading and 1st grade level in math. Last year I would pick her up from Magnet and she would teach me all about bats, snakes, the water cycle, insects, you name it. It was wonderful to pick her up everyday and see the happiness on her face. The teachers and staff really love the kids and care about their education and development. I can't say enough good things about the school. It is a wonderful and safe place to educate your child and I recommend it highly.

It's a shame because she's essentially the face of the school but until she either fixes her attitude or they get someone with actual people skills in her place the image she gives the school won't be good. It also concerns me as a parent that if she talks like that to parents how does she treat or talk to the kids? Crazy that her attitude would be tolerated in an elementary setting.

My little girl chose culinary and gardening at Whitley Elementary. Yesterday was her first day, and there were staff at the front of the school with badges to assist kids and to answer parents' questions, which I appreciated. I am choosing to drop off my little girl every day, but they do have busses that will pick up the kids from their home school and take them to their designated schools, which again I appreciate. My little girl said her teachers were nice and the school served breakfast, lunch, and a snack. The summer camp program runs until July 26th, 8 am, till 5 pm, but kids are able to be picked up early, which I appreciate. I'm excited for her to have this experience, and I appreciate this school as all schools involved in these programs!
