They provide a nurturing environment for the kids.

My only complaint is I wish they had a high school. When my son moved to high school, even though he had completed the basic levels of certain subjects in Valley Academy, he couldn't take the advanced level because the new high school didn't recognize the levels at Valley Academy since they don't have a high school.

Given that most people never know what all the issues are that someone else is dealing with, that is about as presumptuous as someone could possibly be. Whoever Sharon is should be embarrassed to have submitted that review. Here is what my 5 star rating is based on and why so many parents try to get waivers to get their kids into Lookout Mountain. If I have done one thing right in my life, it was choosing to move to Moon Valley in 1992 so my kids had the opportunity to attend Lookout Mountain!! Both of my children went to this school for K through 6th grade. Their experience was phenomenal. My wife was a former teacher who stayed home with our kids. Her experience with the teachers, the admin staff, the cross walk guards, the janitors, the volunteers and everyone associated with this school was great. Their classes, the dedication of the teachers and support staff for after school events and community functions were all great. My kids have tremendous memories and experiences all through their years at LM. I was very fortunate to get to be involved with the school in many ways and with my kids' fellow students through coaching them and seeing them daily around the community. These great kids are a reflection of their fantastic involved parents, their tremendous teachers and the people who work and volunteer at Lookout Mountain. This school is the cornerstone of the Moon Valley community and not because they have a very nice new building. It's the people that leave that building every day that make it what it is. Many of those people are volunteers who support this school like very few others. The community pride here permeates everything. I still live in the neighborhood and both of my kids have graduated from college. This school set the stage for them to get into very prestigious high schools and the universities of their choice with substantial scholarships. They both graduated at the top of their classes and are pursuing their dreams professionally. This school was the base for everything they have accomplished. I am hopeful my grand kids have an opportunity to go to Lookout Mountain. Many of our neighbors' kids go to Lookout Mountain and by all accounts its as good as it ever was. We are truly lucky to have this school in Moon Valley and I guess if I have to wait 10 minutes so one of the volunteers can get the information they might need, I will do it with a huge smile on my face.

The teachers often come across as rude and seem more focused on enforcing dress code policies than providing quality education and meaningful lessons. The school also does not reflect the Christian values and kindness it claims to promote. Everything seems centered around money, and some wealthy families appear to receive special recognition not because of their children's achievements, but because of their financial donations to the school. Overall, this has been a very discouraging experience for our family.

The afterschool clubs are robust. Some of my kids favorite were: volleyball, basketball, football, dodgeball, soccer, sign language, art club, and drawing club.

Her second grade teacher Mrs. Herrier didn't like my daughter and wasn't very friendly to her and us. My daughter has the inattentive type of ADHD that was diagnosed by her current school Desert Cove. Great Hearts did nothing to help her. We were basically told to go and see her pediatrician. For what? The teacher responded with um... her inability to complete her work and focus. The school could not offer her or us any help. The soonest anyone could test her was after Spring break. Also, they did not have the resources at the school to help her. Not only did the teacher not care about her, she let her just sit there and ignored her. My daughter was crying for help and in turn started causing problems to get attention. We didn't know how much she hated Great Hearts so much until these problems were occuring and we talked to her. We pulled her mid 2nd grade to attend Desert Cove Elementary school and it was the best decision of our life. We gor our sweet daughter back whose innocence we belive was taken from her while at Great Hearts. Her creativity is blooming and she is finally doing her work and succeeding in her educational journey. Parents, unless you want your child to have mental health issues down the road please re-think Great Hearts. There are really good public schools in the area that are extremely highly rated like Mercury Mine, Desert Cove, and Fireside.
