My family has deep roots at Barnesville School of Arts & Sciences. My now 33-year-old son attended…read morefrom 2nd through 8th grade, and today my 12-year-old grandson is a student there. We also enrolled three additional children just last year. Having experienced the school across generations, I can say with confidence that Barnesville has remained true to something very special. I have been so impressed with Barnesville's ability to preserve its unique character while continuing to grow and evolve. In a time when so many schools feel increasingly standardized, Barnesville still feels deeply personal, intentional, and rooted in a genuine love of learning and childhood. There is a warmth to the community that is hard to describe but immediately felt. The teachers truly know and care about each child--not just academically, but as whole individuals. That kind of attention creates confident, curious, and kind students. What stands out most to me is the balance the school achieves: strong academics paired with creativity, structure alongside freedom, and a respect for tradition without feeling outdated. It is rare to find a place that nurtures both the intellect and the spirit of a child so thoughtfully. For our family, Barnesville is more than a school--it's part of our story. We are incredibly grateful to be back and to see the same values and magic still alive for the next generation.

Teacher turnover is high. Administration lacks experience and is not professional…read more Academics are lacking. We were there from 4th -8th. If had it to do over again definitely not ok for middle school. One middle school teacher never graded work and when asked handed me a folder of four papers nothing graded. They let in many kids with issues without having the proper counseling. Language teachers were some of the worst my child ever had.

Edlin School has been a wonderful experience for our family. I truly appreciate how the school…read morechallenges students to learn at an advanced level, encouraging them to think deeply and grow beyond the standard curriculum. The teachers are excellent, attentive, and committed to each child's success. It's clear they genuinely care about both the academic and personal development of their students. I also love how the administration works seamlessly as a team. They are approachable and proactive in creating a supportive learning environment. The combination of strong academics and dedicated teachers make Edlin a great school. I'm so glad we chose Edlin for our child. This school sets the bar high and delivers! It's also a great school for events and community that we have not seen in other private school in the area.

Our family completed 9-12 here, and I say family because we attended Oakcrest not just as a…read morestudent, but also the involvement and commitment as parents and siblings to foster and support the formation of our daughter brought us to the school functions several times a week. Our daughter is not academically inclined and Oakcrest is an elite college preparatory school. With that being said, we have asked on several occasions if she wishes to explore easier alternatives. She refuses to and has cried over it because of how much she loves her teachers and her friends. Our family and extended family have joined efforts in investing in our daughter's education at Oakcrest specifically in hopes that she will form into a beautiful, young lady and that she will have a safe place to learn about God, to love herself, and to build friendships that last a life time. The smiles and cheerfulness is not just on brochures, it's actually in person as well! How incredible it is to see the girls are so happy here at this school. By following the Opus Dei teachings, the school has been able to be mindful of what those teachings really mean as they've built a culture surrounding it. The social norms and mainstream media issues are not completely isolated from the girls, but they definitely are kept at bay. We find this to be vital as the girls already have enough on their plate during these teenage years to navigate through the hormones and self-identity struggles. They know those things exist and they can be exposed later once they've learned who they are and how they want to perceive the media rather than the media having a say over their life. Our family is heavily involved in the school functions and appreciate Oakcrest's faculty and staff for their dedication. We would be happy to recommend Oakcrest to others with similar values who are looking to have a Christ-centered education and for the girls to see their personal worth and how that plays a role in living out the sanctity of daily life.

She told us her own children would not have done well at the school. This is after repeatedly badgering us to withdraw our child from primary care after 1 week because he did not clean up his 'materials' from his 'work' and had trouble sitting still in circle time. Maybe this is some people's idea of a good education but sounds foreign to the Montessori method. We found such a more welcoming and amazing Montessori school just a few minutes down the road where our child prospered and is now excelling in elementary.

My son went to Seldens Elementary, Belmont Middle and Riverside. He's driven, self motivated, focused on his future and doing all he can to make it happen and succeed. I did some things to help him (early LEGOs, physics kindergarten app, mathnasium to help with math, steered him to be with kind, forward moving friends) but the rest is the school. Overall he's more than ready for college. Adults are impressed how well he speaks with them. He has a great work ethic and is more than ready for the AI future. He has about 25 friends who are similar (1550 SAT, 4.4GPA range.) They're all friendly, kind, driven, helpful, cheer each other on and have a purpose. I was the bumper rails while the school drove him (and his friends) to the finish line. Well done Riverside!!!
