    #305 Best Public Elementary Schools in Georgia

    Parent: I love the way teacher's care about their students as if they we're their own child. They have a very secure policy to come into school. I go at least 2 times a week but every time they check my id to make sure I'm supposed to be there.

    Nysmith School for the Gifted

    • Private School
    • Herndon, VA
    • PK, K-8
    • 7

    Alum: Our 3 kids attended Nysmith from pre-K to 8th grade and it was the best decision of our lives! They never wanted to miss a day of school, because Nysmith knows how to make learning fun. Our kids went on to a great high school (TJ), that was perfect for their math/science/technology interests, and attended their #1 college choices. They were not only ready academically after Nysmith, but they were also happy and confident. The teachers, who are experts and passionate about the subjects they teach, treated the kids with kindness and respect, welcomed their questions, nurtured their curiosity, and helped my kids discover their gifts and abilities - sometimes before they even knew what they were. I highly recommend Nysmith. Or, better yet, don't listen to me...look at their website, see how their alums are doing, schedule a tour and a couple of student visit days for your child. See for yourselves what Nysmith is all about!

    #490 Best Public Elementary Schools in Georgia

    Niche User: What I liked about Bramlett Elementary is the teachers. The teachers are more than just teachers, they are mentors. They actually care about your well being. They are not there for a paycheck.

    #162 Best Public High Schools in Georgia

    Senior: I was only a sophomore when I first came to Apalachee High School. I was nervous and was not sure how it would turn out. However, on my first day, I quickly made some new friends and other students were really open to me and friendly. The teachers were also very accepting and over the years they have been supportive and caring. The teachers at Apalachee care about students and their success. Apalachee High School is a school dedicated to helping students prepare themselves and be successful but also to enjoy their high school years. Apalachee offers different sports and clubs to be involved in. I personally have been involved in the Cross Country and Track & Field team, and these teams allowed me to grow connections with other students and to further my high school career.

    Senior: I like most of the teachers at Winder Barrow. Some of them are subpar and make their students feel stupid and don't help as much as they should. This happens especially often in the Honors and AP classes. Overall though, the experience there was a good one!
