This school has a huge Hispanic population. Most of the students speak both English and Spanish. As of last school year, most of the staff members were very friendly, and welcoming. Unfortunately, some of the staff were the exact opposite, and that contributed to the overall moral of the school.

When we arrived to pick up our belongings they were left outside the door. The entire experience felt cold and unempathetic, and it was clear that the well-being of the children was not a priority. We wanted to share our experience in hopes of saving others from going through the headache we endured. In hindsight, it was probably the best thing that happened to us. As no parent wants their child in an unsafe environment.

Buckhead Prep SMV is absolutely amazing. It is definitely a hidden gem of Smyrna. Our daughter…read morehas been attending this school since she was 18 months old and now she's 5 and is getting ready to start Kindergarten at one of the top private schools in Georgia. It is a very academically driven school and we loved every bit of it. The teachers are very hands-on and they actually CARE and take time to work with the kids and it shows. To name a few, Ms. Carol and Ms. Carmen has taught her to be the smartest, sweetest, and most well-behaved kid from the start. Now, Ms. Jordan and Ms. Kelly has her well prepared for the next level. Everyday our daughter impresses us with what she has learned and is very excited to go back to school day after day. You wouldn't believe how many compliments we get when we're out, about how smart, polite, and well mannered she is. We definitely owe a large part of that to this school and its incredible how she stands out amongst other kids of her age. Believe me, you will definitely be able to tell the difference. This school has an excellent track record for success. Just about every kid of her graduating class was accepted to their first pick private school. Ms. Tammy and Ms. Kirsten's vision is very focused and their recipe for success is impressive. The kids are surrounded by other great kids, so you can imagine the atmosphere of this school. The environment is very clean, bright, and most importantly, safe. There is an armed SWAT, police officer who is ALWAYS on duty when they are inside the school and especially along with them when they are outside. It definitely makes us feel better. Bottomline, this is a great school for early childhood academic development and we highly recommend Buckhead Prep SMV.

My homeroom teacher, Ms. Kinney, was not very good at handling one of the autistic kids in my class. He left after like 3 months of being there. As well, one of the teachers next to my home room, Ms. EG, told me, a 6-year-old, to "zip it" after I was crying because someone YELLED AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS INTO MY EAR. Was he punished? Of course not! Was I? Why wouldn't I be! I had to apologize to EG for some ungodly reason. As well as this, I can kind of understand, but I kicked this one kid in the chest by accident, mind you, so you know what my friends did? They turned on me even after I had tried to apologize several times and went and got the kids home room teacher, Ms. Brimmis. After fetching her, she proceeded to yell at me for 20 FULL MINUTES while I was cowering, crying underneath one of the structures in the playground. The only nice person there was the vice principal, so I'd like to say thanks to her for making the year I was there at least somewhat bearable. A L burruss is NOT the school for me but now I'm homeschooled and could be happier. Btw I'm also autistic so keep that in the back of your head.
