He started having horrible melt downs before school and he became a challenge at home. Fall 2016 I enrolled him in WAS. We have never been happier! He loves his school so much. Mornings are great because he can not wait to get to school. The staff is amazing and attentive. He is starting basic math already and has a pretty good Spanish vocabulary. He has truly blossomed at this school and I can not say enough great things about everyone there.

Ah, the East Valley Eagles. How your young students mocked my big belly from 3rd-5th grade here…read more How we drank chocky milk in Kindergarten with the inflatable Alphabet characters hanging from the ceiling. I bet they don't use those characters to teach the alphabet anymore. Pokemon and Barney screaming at your babies head. East Valley is a pretty small elementary school. It's in a nice little suburb of Marietta and I don't remember there being too many bad kids except for the skaters I started hanging out with in 4th and 5th, and really all they ever did was punch each other and bring porn to school. I imagine nowadays there's 3rd grade heroin addicts and lots of raucous bathroom sex in at least percentage of American schools. I would put East Valley near the top of the list of places I think would last be affected by this. It was a safe, clean, nice school. Not too huge, but that's part of what makes it nice: they don't push 'em through like cattle. You can feel okay about sending your babies here.

Our kids began St Francis in 2021 (5th & 6th grades) and it has been life-changing. It's truly a…read morehidden gem for families seeking a college preparatory education in a welcoming, structured environment. With varied academic levels--including AP, Honors, and two tiers of College Prep, students are both challenged and supported, allowing every student to thrive & receive the individual attention they deserve. Our son struggles with executive functioning and has thrived with the supportive routines; our daughter, a more typical learner, has also excelled. The curriculum is intentionally process-oriented, broken down into manageable segments so students gain mastery, not just memorization. There's a strong emphasis on organizational skills, note-taking (Cornell method), research skills, and effective study habits. The mandatory "Homework Hour" and use of assignment planners help students build discipline and self-reliance; as parents, we appreciate that most homework is completed at school. It's an excellent fit for students with dyslexia or ADHD, but also offers plenty of challenge--including Honors and AP options, for academically advanced or typical learners. St Francis sets high, but appropriate, expectations for all. A previous post mentioned the point system. This system is an amazing way to help students with accountability. The post mentioned 3-10 kids per week that might have to wear the uniform on Fridays. This point system is at the K-8 campus. That equates to about 1-2% of the kids each week. That means ~99% get their homework completed each night and don't have a behavior issue at school. We have not experienced any vaping or bullying, the staff, creates a safe community. Students and staff are respectful and kind. Both staff and admin are accessible, present on campus, and genuinely care about each child. Our experience with the school's college guidance program has been especially impressive; counselors work closely with students to chart a successful course to their desired college. If there's a weakness, it's that the campus buildings and grounds aren't new and flashy. It's important for prospective families to know that the academic excellence and caring community here far outweigh how our campus compares to some of the other newer private school campuses. If you're searching for a school that prioritizes strong values and a college preparatory path, St Francis deserves your attention. We are deeply invested in this community, and are grateful every day for what this school offers. St Francis is one of those rare places where students are truly known, respected, and equipped with the habits and confidence needed for lifelong success. We love St. Francis and are proud to recommend it wholeheartedly!

don't come here, or send your kids here. it will physically and mentally drain the crap out of you…read more this school advertises unity and community, but that couldn't be farther then the truth. the stuff cares about anything but your self worth and your well being. They don't care about how your doing mentally or physically. The counsalrs don't do crap. don't just come here because it's "fancy" or "collage prep" Because that said "collage prep," is just making you work harder in school during summer just so the staff can get a extra pay check. if you want your kids to feel good about them selves, don't send them here. Bullying= they don't help. waste of time and money. do better SFHS

My daughter went…read moreto KG for summer school for barley 2 weeks and teachers BULLIED her and took the innocence's away from my 5 yr old. 1. They put your kid in time out without telling parents! (they tried putting my 5 yr old in time out because she made a elephant noise WHEN making elephants with the rest of the class. ) You are A SCHOOL NOT DAYCARE. 2. My daughter had something in her shoe from playing outside so she tried to stop in line and take it out, the teacher told her "i dont care keep walking" and didnt even check her shoe when they returned - because of this my kid had a huge sore on her foot. 3. My husband and I saw a teacher PULL a KG back in line BY HIS SHIRT because he tried running to his mom (who was a few steps away from him). Who grabs a KG attention like this, by yanking them by the shirt? wouldnt you try to get their attention instead of laying hands on them? 4. My kid asked for extra ketchup and the teacher said "you dont get anymore ketchup, do i look like a ketchup farmer?" and walked away. Now, dont get me wrong, my kid can take jokes because we are that kind of family, but this was intentional BS behavior, especially from teachers! 5. My 5 year old came home crying asking why teachers hate her, pick on her and saying how there are NEVER teachers on the playground to come to when she needed help. So, the teachers arent watching 5 yr olds play on the playground? I voiced my concerns to the "summer school principle" and ALL SHE DID was make up excuses, not even acknowledge my concerns. You are unorganized, unprofessional, and def shouldnt be teachers and being in charge of other peoples kids. What excuses are there for a teacher to pull a 5 yr old BY THEIR SHIRT, and speak to them the way they spoke to my kid? And now i cant transfer my kid out of this district because i "missed the deadline" while my kid was getting bullied by the teachers in this district instead? PATHETIC SCHOOL. RUN AWAY. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE!!! THANK YOU WOODLAND FOR TAKING THE INNOCENTS OUT OF MY 5 YEAR OLD AND TAKING THE JOY OF SCHOOL AWAY FROM HER

It seems like some parents should appreciate what the school and its teachers do for their kids.

All the good ones either quit or were fired. I knew it could get ugly when the last director retired. She was outstanding!! I had no idea how the atmosphere would chance. My granddaughter was pulled out of there as soon as we were able to transition her somewhere else. Faith clearly has a big problem with other skin, complexion's lighter than her own, as well as Caucasians!! I am really hoping that KinderCare does the right thing and gets rid of this lady. She's not fit to be around children let alone adults.

Although a good school initially, Creme de la Creme truly started to thrive as a Learning Center…read moreunder the direction of Ms. Hudson. When Ms. Hudson assumed leadership, she provided an environment that was safe, nurturing, and inclusive for all children, which hasn't always been the case at Creme. My son immediately began to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally as a direct result of her implementation of an organized well-rounded curriculum, employment of competent, passionate educators who love all children, and holding staff to a higher level of educational excellence. Before Ms. Hudson arrived, there was excessive staff turnover, numerous incidents with staff and educators, and children were not benefiting from the advertised stem, music, art, and language classes. Ms. Hudson not only changed that, but organized learning in a structured format that focused on individual student needs and ensured children weren't overwhelmed. I also noticed that communication with parents improved under her leadership. She had several open channels of communication and any concern I expressed was addressed immediately and above satisfaction. Ms. Hudson was creating an environment that was safe for ALL children in East Cobb. I had confidence that my child would be well-cared for, safe, and that I would be treated with fairness and equity under her leadership. I do not feel as confident in the learning center now that she is gone. Hopefully they can find a new Director with the same values as Ms. Hudson. She really turned the school around in the short time she was there.
