My children and I love Henderson Mill Elementary. I'll try to detail specifically why:…read more 1. Academics, of course. A. As the first STEM-certified elementary school in Georgia, HMES has a strong focus in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This is implemented in a variety of ways, including a weekly science class, LEGO engineering projects, a student-produced morning news program, a trout-hatchery program with field trips to release the small fry into the Chattahoochee, and coding in the classroom, among many other opportunities. B. Literacy is also a strong focus, using the Fountas & Pinnell system (the gold standard) and with small group tutoring every morning before school starts. Students read both fiction and non-fiction, integrating other acedemic fields into their literacy learning. My children are consistently challenged, but have also received support when they have needed it. C. Homework is a little more intensive than neighboring schools, but is age-appropriate and better prepares students for their experience in middle school. 2. Daily P.E. I can't overstate the importance of this. Every child from Kindergarten to 5th Grade has quality exercise every day. They run laps and do squat thrusts (aka burpees.) The exercise does amazing things for their focus during class and their happiness in general. They also have 15-20 minutes of recess daily. 3. The arts. The full-time music and art teachers are phenomenal in their fields, seeing each student once a week. They also work with the science teacher to implement STEAM Wednesdays, in which the children work on projects incorporating the arts into the STEM fields through innovative projects. 4. Title I. Henderson Mill is a Title I school, which means that it receives federal funds due to the proportion of its children who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. These funds are primarily used to pay the salaries of additional excellent teachers, which helps keep class sizes small and provides that additional academic support. Serving children from a wide array of backgrounds, the school does a fantastic job of supporting and engaging all of its students. 5. The students. Henderson Mill has an amazingly diverse population of students from all over the world. A wide variety of cultures and backgrounds are represented, providing children with the opportunity to learn from one another. I've heard from high school students that this early interaction leads to a better, more integrated experience in the later grades than students from less diverse schools encounter. 6. The culture. Henderson Mill Elementary is an amazing place for children to grow up. It's the kind of place where, following a weeknight event, after the students and most parents have gone home, employees linger happily because they love it there. Children pick up on that and think of the school as a happy place. The teachers, the staff, the administration -- the more you get to know them, the better and better they get. The smiles are contagious. I kinda can't believe I spent this long writing a Yelp review for a public school, but that should illustrate how much I love the place.

I want to start off by recognizing that Goddard Chamblee has some amazing people on staff. I want…read moreto thank those people for doing their best to give my child a good experience. After ~2 years, I would say that I have been satisfied with my experience about 50% of the time enrolled and I am exploring new options for my children. Reasoning follows: 1. Staffing: constant turnover and short staffing lead inadequate teacher:child ratios. You will end up dropping off/picking up your child from different rooms and different faces frequently. Administration will not communicate staffing changes and deceptively leave up pictures of former staff on classroom boards. 2. Cleanliness: the 1-2 year old classroom has glue coming through the floorboards. It has been 6 months since first reported with no remedy. Do you want your kids crawling on this floor? (See picture). If you open the refrigerators or look in drawers or cabinets, you will be disgusted. Too many of the toys and books in the rooms are in very poor condition. 3. Learning Environment: It is difficult to provide a consistently rich learning environment when constantly short staffed and rotating through new faces. 4. Owner: She is rarely present except for when she is asking you for more money for one of her charitable tax write off initiatives.

In February of this year, my son was enrolled in a different school. During his first week, he got…read moresick, and truly never got better. After two months attending, we found out his hearing was temporarily affected from the fluid in his ears and he was scheduled for tubes surgery. Unfortunately because of the sickness, he only spent two full weeks in school out of the two months period. Before the tubes were even put into place, my son was kicked out of the school with teachers claiming he was possibly autistic and more than they could handle. I came to Goddard Chamblee with paperwork in hand that the previous school handed me with my tail tucked between my legs also terrified that they would agree and turn my son away. After a quick discussion and a glance at the paperwork, they agreed that no child should ever be left behind and that the previous school didn't even give my son a chance. My son has now been enrolled at Goddard Chamblee for two months and has hit more milestones and thriving more than he ever has anywhere else. The teachers are so loving, nurturing, and patient. They work with my son to ensure he's truly a part of the class and I can tell they genuinely care about him. Words cannot express how thankful I am for Goddard Chamblee. And special shoutout to Ms. Wendy who truly makes his classroom seem like home.
