They recently built a new playground and gym in the past ten years - when I was there we had to do chair aerobics in the cafeteria on rainy days because there was no gym. The teachers and administrators continue teaching here for years because of the great support from the parents in the area. Classrooms are never overcrowded, and I can't recall a time when they had to use trailers. It's my dear alma mater and there is nothing bad I could say about this school; most of my great childhood memories took place here - the spring festivals, field days, sock-hops, and fall carnivals.

I finally wanted to take the time to write this review and express my disgust for a teacher by the…read morename of Mrs. Smith (short, dirty blonde hair) back when my daughter was in first grade. My daughter still recalls, to this day, how Mrs. Smith would scold her over the most insignificant things. She would tell her not to yawn in class, as if she wasn't allowed to be tired or could control when she yawned. She would never do this to the other students in the class if they yawned, despite the fact that they would also be talking in the middle of class while my daughter stayed quiet and well-behaved. My daughter was one of the very few Asians in the school at the time, and this behavior was clearly discriminatory. It is vile and repulsive to think that a teacher treats her students differently based on their race, but the fact remains that she would never scold the other white kids for the same things that she would scold my daughter for. After moving to California, the difference was like night and day. Every single teacher she had only ever praised her for being one of the brightest students they ever had. Her reading comprehension was 5 grade levels above her own, she took honors classes for writing, science, and math, and she kept straights A's for every subject all throughout her schooling. She was such a happy, smart, and disciplined student that multiple teachers asked me what my secret was to raising her. To see such a stark difference between how the teachers in California treated her versus Mrs. Smith, it was especially clear who the issue was. Mrs. Smith, if you happen to be reading this or someone has made you aware of this post, know that my daughter is now on a full academic scholarship at a prestigious university in California, and I have no doubt that she will be making a positive impact on the world. Despite your discouragement and discrimination towards her from a young age, she stayed passionate towards learning , so when she inevitably becomes successful, she will make sure that she speaks out against terrible people like you who target specific students. I certainly hope you're not teaching because someone like you should not be interacting with children, let alone educating them. You should have never been able to get a teaching degree in the first place, and the fact that you were able to get a job in the first place shows how flawed our education system can be. Unfortunately, the U.S. has too many of these discriminatory educators, and it's despicable. It's truly unfortunate that I only came to know about this later, after my daughter saw how differently the teachers in California treated her. When she was at Berkeley, she was young and didn't want to cause any trouble for me or her, but if I had known about this sooner, I would have brought this to the attention of the school, immediately. I honestly don't know if anything would have been done about her behavior because the front office was always hostile and rude towards me, and I could feel racist energy coming from them as well. I'm very passionate about this issue because I grew up in Georgia in the '70s/'80s where my family and I had to endure so much racism, and I don't want to see anybody have to go through the same things I did, especially my own child! For this very reason, I made it my life's mission to move to California, to an area with a predominantly Asian population, and it was the best decision. We are so happy in California, and we couldn't imagine being in any other state in the U.S. I know Georgia has changed a lot over the years, and even though there is a large ethnic community there now, we would never sacrifice the amazing weather, less mosquitoes, and the greater diversity of California to ever move back to Georgia.

My daughter loves the way the teachers teach and allow you to express your thoughts and approach to life. Yes, Galloway has an open way to accept everyone. I think it's great because some of the other independent schools don't. Minority students have a hard time adjusting to the culture/environment of the school. The administration listen to everyone whether you have money or not. If you are a family that gets involved and take pride in your children education, they listen to your comments and suggestions. Some schools don't listen to anything the parents have to say because it's tradition. "This is the way we always did it speech" comes after you make a suggestion about the school. At Galloway, the community helps shape the educational climate. I love it. The new concepts and theme of our school explains who we are. At Galloway, we do 4d learning which touches four areas which are daring, deliberate, dynamic, and discovery. if you don't want your children to explore learning and not do traditional learning. Galloway is for you!

There are…read moredefinitely positives: it is a kind, supportive environment, the teachers generally care, and the school does a good job making students feel seen as individuals. I understand why a lot of Buckhead families are drawn to it. That said, looking back as an adult, I do not feel like it prepared me especially well for real life. There was a lot of emphasis on "be your best self," which sounds good on paper, but in my experience there was less emphasis on discipline, toughness, accountability, and the kind of academic rigor that actually helps once you leave a protected school environment. It helped get me into Alabama, but I was not especially well prepared once I got there, and that became obvious pretty quickly. Now I work in residential real estate, and while I do fine, it is not exactly the kind of challenging or deeply fulfilling professional path I once thought a school like Galloway was preparing me for. It is a very relationship-driven job with long hours, and if I am being honest, a lot of where I landed had more to do with family connections than with any real edge the school gave me. That is the part I think prospective families should think about. Galloway was good at making students feel comfortable and affirmed. I am less convinced it was good at pushing them hard enough to thrive on their own later.
