Caring, prompt, dedicated and personal. Everyone here makes a very large school feel like a second home. We came from a high end private school in Milton and we are happier at Shiloh Point. It has far exceeded our expectations!

Buford Academy

• Buford City Schools, GA
• 2-5
• 1

Parent: My son is going into the fourth grade, at Buford Academy, and these guys are awesome. My son had a few problems controlling his anger, and would sometimes lash out. Instead of disciplining and treating him like the bad kid, Like Dyer Elementary in Dacula did, they get down on his level and treat him like a friend that needs help. I could not ask for a better staff. They are always on top of letting us know what is going on so that way we can tackle the issues while at home as well. Buford Academy is an overall great experience for our family.

Vickery Creek Elementary School

• Forsyth County Schools, GA
• PK, K-5
• 3

Parent: Vickery Creek has created an environment that cherishes each child and helps each student grow as a leader academically and socially. The Administration knows each child by name, the teachers and staff nourish their students. 4 of our 5 children were able to attend VCE. When we moved out of state it was obvious how well VCE has prepared them. A rich foundation is set by attending VCE.

Fifth Avenue Elementary School

• Decatur City Schools, GA
• 4-5
• 1

Parent: It is, in general, a good school. But teacher turn over is HIGH and you play the teacher lottery. Many are great, some are ok but there are several that are not good and a few that are terrible.
Also, there is over 900 student currently enrolled. My daughter is in a "module" which is a fancy word for a trailer. Decatur did not plan well for how many people have moved here.

Kedron Elementary School

• Fayette County Public Schools, GA
• PK, K-5
• 2

Parent: This is our first year at Kedron and we have been pleased with the school and the broader sense of community so far. Our daughter's class is relatively diverse, which is terrific and not something you necessarily could expect in other Fayette County schools.

Our daughter is doing really well, but that she always has done well academically and we wouldn't expect her to have any challenges. We will say that we are off to a good start for sure. Kedron just won the National Blue Ribbon designation, so kudos to them.
