I noticed at a Girl Scout meeting my daughter and another student from Thales couldn't read nearly as well as their peers. I decided to have my daughter assessed independently, and we were shocked to learn she was testing below a kindergarten level (she was in 1st grade) in both reading and math. The lack of academic progress made sense once I actually saw how the classrooms are run. I substitute taught at the school several times and quickly realized that the "teachers" are not licensed educators. They simply stand there and read verbatim what a book tells them to say. They are untrained employees. They are literally just reading instructions out loud, not actually teaching the students. I immediately withdrew my kids. My daughter started second grade in the Williamson County public school system and was far behind. It took over two years of RTI, summer school, and private tutors just to get her caught up to her peers.

This is really an exceptional school for those looking for a truly classical curriculum. We have 8…read morechildren and most of them have attended Thales the last four years. The teaching method is very effective. All my children read at a high level with fantastic fluency. My children have a strong math foundation and an impressive breathe of historical knowledge. I know there is lot of negative comments about this school and the administration online, but it is unwarranted. There are many lovely families at Thales, the tuition is very affordable, the year round schedule is the absolute best, especially if you have wiggly boys (we have five) Homework is minimal. I suggest looking at the school and speaking to the personnel, it will speak for itself.

When I saw my previous schooling only had 1 rating and it was for 1 star I felt the need to express…read moremy opinion as a graduated student of the Ensworth School. I came to Ensworth last minute to attend high school my freshman year. They welcomed me in with open arms and did not brag at all about their success but let the school and there students speak for itself. Yes, this school is very exclusive Pre 1st - 12th but it isn't for no reason. I cannot even begin to explain how phenomenal the faculty and staff is at Ensworth. I can go back and visit many of my teachers and converse about my endeavors and the growth of the school. They truly care. Also the college counseling department is very helpful with the students college application process. In addition, academically I was more than prepared for college. Anyone to say any different probably comes from a rival school which is natural. As a student I use to hear it all the time. If you do not want to believe me look at where our graduating students are attending school and their accomplishments just in high school. For example, out of my graduating class of 105, 3 students where accepted to Harvard and that is just the beginning. The facts are indisputable.

Fairly new school and both my kids attended there for two years. The teachers are great and the…read moreprinciple is great. The gym is not a true gym, no hard wood floor or bleachers etc. But is spacious. They do have a really nice playground too. They have a hall way system where you walk on one side to go one way and the other side to go the other way and visitors can walk in the middle. Works out great so you are not cutting through a line or tripping over a kid! Only con to this school is their parking lot. If there is an event, play, concert, etc it is a MAD HOUSE, they allow people to block others in and pretty much you have to wait at your car until everyone who has blocked you in comes out of the building. They had a open house there on night, and being the think ahead prepared mommy that I am I arrived 45 minutes before the doors opened so I could get a parking space and be parked legally and not block anyone in. When it was time to leave i literally waiting at my car for 45 MINUTES until some jerk finally came out and moved. This school definitely needs a bigger parking area! I was told there is a lot right next door to the school that they were trying to get and I pray that they do because it is impossible to fit everyone in their parking lot at one time for a function. And parking on the side of the street is impossible because both sides of the road are drop offs so the only place for parents to park it in the parking lot.

I've lived in the College Grove area for almost 30 years. We moved out this way back in 1982 and…read moremy sister and I attended the old College Grove Elementary, which is now the Senior Center. When they rebuild the school just a little way down the road I was worried that it would loose some of the small town charm the old one had but I was mistaken. When my children were old enough they started at the new school and low and behold two of the teachers who taught when I was there, was still teaching. Long story short, College Grove Elementary School receives top marks each year from the state for the level of education they provide our children. It was a real pleasure as my two went all the way through from Pre-K to fifth grade. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a good school, College Grove is an excellent choice.
