Salem is a work in progress. With the new principal whose going into her second year at Salem this…read moreschool could be greater than the previous years. Parents we need your help as well. Whether your child is a new student or returning student/family respect goes a long way. Instead of coming into the school yelling and screaming at the staff take time to have a conversation with your child, teacher/teachers, the principal and possibly a mediator. This will help with the transition of getting settled into new surroundings. We should be operating as a common ground. Lets come together as a community and move mountains together. Let's get a hold and ahead of situations. Once we accomplish that we can accomplish anything. With a little work great things can be accomplished.

This school is a scam and unfortunately I didnt realize it until my daughter was in the high…read moreschool. They have new teachers every year, the reduced the class sizes from 6 classes to 4 classes becasue they dont have enough teachers. And the teachers maybe qualified to teach but they arent qualifed to teach the subject that they cover. The principal is trying to make it a basketball school nut none of the basketaball palyers are local , they are all brought over from Africa. The curriculum is made up, take spanish for example they use duo lingo and then say they charging a technology fee but they dont teach anything because they dont have a qualified spanish teacher. They say they prpepare kids for college , they do this by having acceess to schoalrships but the students arent prepared for college academically. They moved the school from conyers to stone mountain without giving parents a proper notice and by the end of the last school year there were only three teachers covering middle and high school. Hide your kids, hide your money, and dont send them to Wilson Academy where the scam ass principal Byron Wilson is running Scam Academy.

We searched for positive or negative reviews prior to enrolling but didn't find anything to give us…read moreguidance. We hope this will help someone. The Wilson Academy is actually located at 2360 Covington Hwy Sw Conyers, GA they used to be located in Lithonia. Our 1st impression of the school for our 2 children was largely positive all because we meet with the wonderful Mrs. Smith (a phenomenal k-3 grade teacher) in our 1st in-person meeting. She was everything we could ask for an more in a elementary school teacher. The school seemed to be perfect and we couldn't understand why it wasn't packed with more students and a abundance of teachers/staff. We where given the speech about the owner/principal Mr. Byron and the success that he had with his own daughter that graduated at the age of 14 and attended Spellman College. After enrolling in the 2025/26 school year we where 3 months in and found out why the school wasn't talked about or had an overwhelming support from the community. It was a normal drop off morning as we were dropping off our kids to school when they were meet by a security officer that had a clip board which was of children names that hadn't paid by the due date of the 1st......so 3 days later kids were being turned away at the door that came dressed and ready for school but was being denied an education and sent back home. It was like the kids were going into a nightclub and they where being denied entry because they were on this list. You really had to be there to see this awful site. The owner wasn't there and security loudly told us that we needed to call him to get clarification. We were instructed to pull over and park and call, we called and called with our kids patiently waiting for a call back for 30 min, we finally spoke with him and told him we had planned to pay on the following day and his response was that's fine the kids can miss 1 day and it was this act of insensitivity that he portrayed that gave a perception that he was not about the kids but about the money. He was basically saying that because you were 3 days late your child can no longer be educated by his school until full payment was done. We did make the payment the same day but the damage had been done. We scrambled to get the funds and sent it by Zelle and were extremely inconvenience. According to the information that is given out when enrolling it states that after 30 days you child maybe denied entry for late and unpaid accounts. This was not our case here. We also initially asked for payments to be on a certain day but was told that we had to pay on the 1st by way of automatic debit site. If we had gotten a phone call of this prior to bringing the kids to school it would have been better than this scenario which seemed inhumane, and please understand that many kids where turned away for the same reasons (I pray their families where able to get payments in). Based off the amount we where paying and how we where treated that day we made our decision to leave. Yes there where other issues that lead up to this that we saw in the school but we overlooked to try and work with a black owner. If the head of an organization believes this is ok then we have to believe that this operation of belief sets up a horrible system that we don't want to be apart of.

Not sure what to say about this school because of the new principal. Apparently, the previous years…read morehave been disastrous with building & grounds upkeep, education expectations, school programs, and more. I learned a lot from the other parents at the first parent/principal meeting of the year. Since my boyfriend's son began attending here, I've noticed there have been A/C problems, shortages of bus drivers (meaning there have been doubled routes), and other slight inconsistencies that concern most parents... myself included. However, all of these concerns were addressed at the parent/principal meetings I have attended. Seems the parents who have children that attended there the previous years have been extremely dissatisfied with the previous principal and the lack of interest for any of the parents' concerns about the children fighting, electric problems and whatnot. Now that there is a new principal and she seems genuinely concerned with all these things, it seems the parents are a lot more satisfied with the way the school is now being run. There is still a bus driver shortage and the parking lot gravel is still horrible, but at the moment those issues are out of her control.

They rather jump to conclusions before even looking into the matter accordingly . Multiple complaints have been made while all the people who are supposed to protect your kids while in their care turns a blind eye without any concern. Today a fight erupted at the school bus stop which ended with my nephew in the hospital. Now the school justified the action and did not have any kind of empathy on the injured child. Everything is shoved under the rug while they go about their day!

My daughter has been at this school since kindergarten she is now going to the 4th grade. The…read moreteachers here are great and I mean that literally. I've loved all her teachers. The thing that concerns me is the actual facility and the secretary at the front desk Ms. Barnes. First of all there is no reason why I should smell urine walking down the halls. That is absolutely disgusting. When you go into the bathrooms they don't even have soap. I volunteered one day and I watched as the teacher gave them sanitizer as they were walking out of the bathroom. Just sanitizer on those germy little hands leaving out of a bathroom that already smells like pee that's been sitting for years. Now Ms. Barnes , without going into full detail her attitude sucks. If your not happy at the front desk someone else will love your job, move on and save some of us parents the despair of having to see your face or speak to you. My daughter will not be finishing at Marbut, despite being a theme school I believe there should be more clubs for kids k-3 as well. They got a new principle so hopefully he will make the necessary changes. Really this review deserves 2 stars but because I love the teachers which is most important I will give 3 stars since I am the first to review. UPDATE- The new principal did make many changes at the school. My daughter is no longer there and I did see changes in the front desks professionalism.
