This is a great public charter school. I definitely recommend. When they are short staffed on Fridays you can definitely tell (in the car rider lane). read more

My child has been at this elementary school through K-3rd Grade., On the very first day of the…read more2018-2019 school year. (his third grade year) He came to me and said that the school lunch was unsanitary!! And apparently, he said they used no gloves while serving their lunch. As any parent would be I was in shock and wanted to put in a complaint. But he said that to not put in the complaint. I was also extremely confused. After the first week of school, he said that bullies wanted to fight him at ASP. And then the next day he came home looking sad and hurt. He said that the bullies had all started hitting him. He also said that the monitors were paying little to no attention to the children. This gave me a clear idea that the school i had enrolled him for 3 YEARS was obviosity lying when they were the best school in Georgia. I do not or will not plan of enrolling him back in this school anytime soon
I did not want to write this out of anger, so I have waited several months.This letter serves as a…read morereview of my experience of Arbor Station Elementary here in Douglas County. Towards the end of 2017, I had received two different emails from two different teachers in one week regarding my sun and his behavior, causing disruption in the class and not completing assignments. My remedy for this behavior was a promise to follow through with a butt whooping from me to him if he got in trouble again. Needless to say, he did indeed get into trouble again only a few days later. When the teacher told him she would be calling me, by her words, he flipped out crying hysterically, saying he was gonna get a whooping and that he was "scared". My issue with Ms. Melissa Joe and Ms. Heather Rainy is, that after being immensely involved with this school after 11 years, 3 children, GOD knows how many Fun Fest, Bear Runs, Road Runners, Talent Shows, Fundraisers, Volunteering etc etc, they SUSPECTED child abuse! Yes indeed they called DFCS on me, an Educator myself, after I took the initiative to correct the very behavior of my child they were complaining about! Now that's a kick in the teeth! I immediately withdrew my sun and thank GOD for always being in control. The case worker that handled this situation was definitely an Angel and closed this case with no doubt the school's administrators had been dramatic in their decision to involve them. I believe if this were a white family, that call would have never been made. I've also noticed, along with other members of our community, that this school has become culturally insensitive over the years to Douglasville's growing diversity. Respectfully Yours, Ericka Murphy

If you're considering private school in the Atlanta area you have much to choose from. I highly recommend Woodward Academy. Call for a tour! UPDATE: We're quarter into the school year of my sons 9th grade. EVEN BETTER THAN MIDDLE SCHOOL! He absolutely loves his school and teachers. They have so much time to finish assignments during the day. I see why Woodward grads are so ready for College. They learn time management early! Love love LOVE this school.

When you complain Mrs Bragg quickly becomes rude and dismissive. They won't honor simple requests like classroom changes or any other suggestions, regardless of the situation. The counselors shouldn't counsel a trash can, definitely not a child. Mrs Lauchlan is pretty good at accomplishing nothing. Mr Lawrence isn't certified and he has the maturity level of a 6th grader. Bottom line: Look at the test scores compared to other private schools. The kids complain about the lunch. The co-curricular and athletic options are good. Your kid will be bullied. Your kids will receive a public school education with perks. Don't waste your money.

They recently built a new playground and gym in the past ten years - when I was there we had to do chair aerobics in the cafeteria on rainy days because there was no gym. The teachers and administrators continue teaching here for years because of the great support from the parents in the area. Classrooms are never overcrowded, and I can't recall a time when they had to use trailers. It's my dear alma mater and there is nothing bad I could say about this school; most of my great childhood memories took place here - the spring festivals, field days, sock-hops, and fall carnivals.

Liberty Eagle has been such a blessing for my boys. We homeschooled for a little bit before finding…read morethis school and deciding it was time. My two boys are 7 and 4 and they BOTH love going to school. Mrs. Tracy and Mrs. Caitlyn have been fantastic but honestly every teacher I've spoken with seems so supportive and happy to be there. My boys are welcomed by name every day at drop off by multiple staff members. The teachers have been so kind and really encourage the kids to be a good friends to classmates. They take a lot of pride in their classroom and that has definitely been reflected at home with their own rooms! The first week I packed lunch but my son insisted on school lunch and they enjoy it each day. To top it off both boys came home first week asking to wash their own dishes! I can tell the teachers love what they do and I feel so fortunate to have found this school that feels so much like a community!

Most people don't know, but we allowed our child to try public school for a few months at the end of last school year. The school and staff were great. But my child changed. I was not picking up the same child I dropped off. She was exhausted (despite a good bedtime), moody, and would cry at the drop of a hat. She had a totally different demeanor. People told me it was just the age and adjusting to a new school, etc. We knew public school was not going to work for us. Although, she did enjoy several things they offered. We began exploring other options. We had a wonderful opportunity to try Liberty Eagle, thanks to the many scholarship donors! (We're looking for scholarship and silent auction donors now, if you're interested in donating!) There have been a number of things we have loved so far. The biggest being that I pick up the same child I drop off! There's no more crying before or after school. No more zone out sessions, staring at the wall. No more crazy attitude. I have my child back!! She's happy. She's learning. She's thriving. Her demeanor change was not her age; it was the overstimulating, chaotic environment! The Montessori environment has been much more similar to the homeschooling environment she's accustomed to. Liberty Eagle Academy has been a true blessing for our family!

Parents, please do your research before sending your children to Miles Ahead…read more I allowed two of my children to attend this school, and unfortunately, my experience has not lived up to the hype. My son is a straight-A/B student, and he is now having a difficult time adjusting back to public school. My daughter attended kindergarten there, and I honestly feel like she was not taught the fundamentals she should have been learning. A lot of what she knows came from what we worked on at home and what she learned in Pre-K. I brought multiple concerns directly to the people in charge through emails, and unfortunately, I never felt that my concerns were properly addressed. I also have concerns about the school's future location and the lack of communication with parents regarding the upcoming move once the current contract ends. Parents deserve transparency and timely communication about major changes that affect their children. There is much more I could say, but I'll leave it at this: please do your own research, ask questions, look at the academic results, and talk to other parents before enrolling your children. My personal experience has been very disappointing, and based on what I experienced with both of my children, I would not recommend this school.

I am a former student here and graduated in 2024. I was part of the choir in the FAME magnet…read moreprogram, and my little sister, who graduates in a week, is part of the band in the FAME magnet program. I would like to preface that everything that I am today is because of this program and I wouldn't change a thing, because it got me to where I am today and I am extremely proud of everything I have accomplished. Trey Giddens and Ashley Cleavland changed my life, and I would do it all over again if I meant I got to work with them. My little sister has been granted the opportunity to attend Berklee the School of Music because of this program and helped prepare her when applying. This program offers amazing things. However, to say the least, I am extremely disappointed in this school's administrative team that runs it. To make an extremely long story short, when I first joined the program, it was explained to me that once I became a senior, any leftover balance, in the positive, due to fundraising or excess payment, would be returned to me as a scholarship at the annual FAME awards. Granted, this could have been a different policy for the choir program than the band program. However, my little sister had $208 in excess funds that suddenly got transferred to the program's personal finances while my family was still under the impression they would receive it to help fund her future education. There have been several administrative changes since I was a freshman there, including a different magnet director every year for the past 6 years. The lack of documentation regarding finances and student expectation or accolades has been extremely neglected and needs serious attention. I know this review will do nothing to fix the situation my family is dealing in regards to the program, so my only hope is that this post will ring in someone's ear and draw some attention towards the fact that Moffett shouldn't be in charge of the programs finances and outside help may be warranted. Thank you for your time if you finished reading this. I'd like to reiterate that this program built me as a human and it's good for those who live for the fine arts. It just needs serious administrative reconsiderations.

We were new to Georgia when we first joined SAE. We were originally told our child would be placed in Pre-K 4 even though their birthday is after the September 1st cutoff. Imagine our surprise after they took our money and we signed a contract that they put our child in Pre-K 3. Their excuse was we need to see if they can adapt to the SAE way. Thats fair enough, but they never moved our child to Pre-K 4, even after they passed all of their assessments. Nonetheless, she had a good teacher and the teacher tested her and stated she definitely should be in Kindergarten and not Pre-K for the upcoming fall school year. This we already were aware of since we work with our children at home. We had a meeting with the SAE administration and they refused to move our child to Kindergarten. Mind you our child wouldn't be the only child who has been moved up and this is a private education system. We are paying for it so the reasons that were given weren't justifiable. They wanted us to try the Pre-K 4 program since its equivalent to public Kindergarten( their words not mines) and then evaluate the move to Kindergarten. That failed miserably as an incident took place with the pre-k 4 teachers that prompted our immediate removal of our child all together. "When we called the pre-k 3 teacher that we had the previous school year, she stated she was glad we were done with that place and although the incident is unfortunate I'm glad your child is no longer there". Those are very concerning words coming from a teacher/staff member. All in all it has been such a blessing in disguise! After leaving SAE, we weren't sure what direction to go in as far as childcare since we knew our child was too advanced for childcare center or daycare. So we looked into homeschooling and co ops. Prior to placement they tested our child and they tested on a 1st grade level! Here we are advocating for our child to be in kindergarten and we should have been advocating for 1st grade! Imagine if we would have stayed at SAE. We would be doing a disservice to our child as they would be in Pre-K 4 and not learning on the level they should be. Again if your child operates outside of the standard or on an advanced level do not send your child to SAE. Just for safety concerns alone, dont send your child here. Always ask your child how their day was and listen to them. Actively listen to them, had we not done so our child would still be here. Thank God our child spoke up!

6740 Shannon Pkwy, Union City, GA 30291…read more This is the absolute most unprofessional defensive driving school. I am wondering if the Dept of Driver services regulates who can run them. I called and set an appointment over a week and a half in advance. The man tells me that I was ok to attend the 7-10pm 2 day course and provided the location. He explained that it was at 383 Marietta street which was 3-4 min from my home. When I got there, they told me that the class would be in Union City. Almost 35 min from me! I had to take the course at that time as it was already planned out on my schedule. He told me it would take 15 min to get there and to follow him. I followed this man who was speeding down the highway and when I got there, he said we would have made it sooner if I didn't drive so slow... Umm hello??? I drove the speed limit of 65 and was not trying to get a ticket going to defensive driving school!! He was combative and told me that I had a choice to take the class or go home. The actual instructor was nice but it was extremely painful to sit there and listen to him read the whole manual. He literally...Read the pages and it was far from being an interactive course. And his voice was not pleasant to listen too. The video materials used had examples and statistics from 1998 and out of date procedures. On the second day of training, he arrived late while we were all there on time. I was even able to make it on time with the President being in ATL and causing havoc to the traffic. Once again, I had to come down there from the location that I initially signed up for. He arrived, with no apologies, opened up the office and began to start reading the book again after a video. While we were in class, the guy that initially had me drive out there came into the office and started playing music. Regardless of how low it was, it was distracting. After we finished over an hour early, they put on a movie to watch. The put on the un-edited version of "Friday", with all of the curse words and racial terms being used. I found that to be ironic being that the entire office and classroom is covered in religious verses. I felt uncomfortable hearing the "N" word and curses while we waited to be allowed to leave.
