Senior: For what the school lacks in facilities and strong sports team, it makes up with incredibly devoted teachers who work relentlessly to ensure that every student is getting the best education they can. The education succeeds other Atlanta private schools, despite being a free charter school. The spirit is strong as everyone knows each other and contributes to the overall life of the school. However, being a small charter school with minimal funding creates a lack of facilities and ability to have strong sports teams. There are still many ways to get involved and be apart of the community despite the obstacles.... Read 16 reviews

Parent: I can’t say enough how much we love this school. The teachers are amazing, the PTA is so strong and the community involvement is top notch. There are varying programs for kids including DLI, SPED, target and multiage. The afternoon enrichment clubs are the top programs in the area. The morning and afternoon car rider traffic was resolved in 2019 and it has made a world of difference. The parent support in solving and addressing school or property issues or needs is incredible - they really come together to get things done. In 2021 they laid turf on the playground allowing kids to still go outside just 15 min after it rains. Every school you go to will need some improvement and that’s what we really love about this school. The parents get it and back the school - improvements are made every year thanks for the administration, pta and community partnership.... Read 7 reviews

Parent: Sutton is becoming increasingly better each year! The new administration cares about the students, families, and staff and are making great improvements in the processes and hiring of new faculty members. The 6th grade campus allows for a nurturing, smooth transition into middle school. Students are challenged in positive ways and encouraged to do their best by engaged teachers. The various clubs and activities allow students to grow emotionally as well as academically. The wonderfully diverse community is both involved and supportive. Why pay for a private school when you have Sutton in your neighborhood?... Read 12 reviews

Senior: I only attended Campbell High School for my upperclassmen years, but can say that overall it is a well run school. Many of the teacher and staff show care for the students and their work. It is apparent through extracurricular involvement and day to day teaching that the students are a priority. The facilities in the older parts of the building are sometimes run down but with so many students it is hard to keep everything in check. The counseling team does a wonderful job checking in on every student and every employee has a common interest in preparing the students for their post high school plans. Campbell is a great school with many courses, and lots of school spirit. Go Spartans!... Read 732 reviews

Alum: I was at CSK for seven years! Being there for that long means a lot. But most importantly, it meant it was such a great school that my parents kept me their to build to my success. The supportive system that CSK has to offer makes sure that students get the individual attention and guidance they need to do their best. The clubs, sports, and organizations were my favorites interests at the school. They made you feel included and were super fun. It may be strict, but looking at it overall and all the academic rigor available, it has given me every bit of excellence I have today. I wouldn’t trade my years there for a thing. GO EAGLES!!!...

Parent: My oldest daughter started Kindezi O4W during the pandemic (2020) with virtual learning. She has thrived both during virtual learning and in person learning and has now started her third year at Kindezi O4W. I am very impressed with this school. I work at a local university, so good quality education is important to me. The teachers give their geniuses individually assigned tasks to further their strengths and work on those areas needing improvement. The teachers are in constant contacts with the parents and are genuinely enthusiastic about their jobs and the children they teach. The class sizes are small (14 kids: 2 teachers per class). I am delighted that our younger daughter just started Kindergarten at Kindezi O4W as well. Both of our kids LOVE this school, and wake up in the morning happy to go and learn and see their friends. And that is the most important aspect of it, right, kids enjoying to go to school and enjoying to learn.... Read 4 reviews

Niche User: If I could change something about our schools, it would be to create a climate of support. When teachers and students feel supported by parents, administration, and other teachers, it changes the way we operate in our classrooms. Everyone is overwhelmed at times by deadlines, testing, learning new materials—the job is never-ending and challenging. Getting support from everyone and celebrating successes leads to a positive school culture where we can all enjoy our day-to-day jobs!... Read 4 reviews

Sophomore: Attending Cobb Horizon High School is pleasant, with many opportunities and a variety of clubs. However, the worst part of the school will be nothing so far because it feels like very close communication from the staff members to students and vice versa. Such as teachers being very comprehensive and making learning more enjoyable.... Read 6 reviews

Senior: For the first time in my life I can honestly say that I have two family.Which includes my family(relatives) and secondly my school family. Both groups whom I love dearly will and forever play a big part in my future. From the outside looking in, you can "say" that the people I see in schools are my friends/peers , but in doubt its wisely stated that friends are the family you pick and choice In my school family, trust, respect, and character are the core attributes that are valued the most. Whether or not, you are a new students or old, transferring or withdrawn all are accepted in the arms of this family. However, as lovely as it sounds, just like in any relationships there are bumps and conflicts. Between us, there are days were I want to just pull out my hair, and scream in either anger, annoyance, or frustration. But it's in these moments that we as a body of people strengthen our relationship.... Read 14 reviews
