I have two children at The Schenck School. We are so blessed to have this school in the Atlanta area. The teachers are fabulous, the facilities are beautiful and the education is remarkable. Giving your child a solid education is one of the best things you can do for them- The Schenck School gives them a solid foundation and the confidence to succeed.

I am a parent of a functioning dyslexic; that is to say, my son functioned 'fine' in the standardized learning program of his previous school. Nonetheless, he was struggling and not excelling, despite his intelligence and 2x/week remediation with a tutor. I knew he deserved better. We enrolled him in the Schenck School, and our only regret is that we didn't do it sooner. This school is a GodSend for anyone who is dyslexic and struggling to learn via standardized teaching methods. The staff, teachers and school administration are dedicated to assure that every child succeeds. The facilities are beautiful, the teachers amazing, the programs perfectly suited to the attending student (including a homework lab!), and their summer school program superb. When, at the end of the day, your dyslexic child gets in the car and says 'they make reading FUN!', you know you have lucked into a real gem.

THE most successful and pupil friendly school for average and above-average students with reading problems and/or AD. I was (by happy accident) a founding member of The Georgia Association for Learning Disabilities. Learning about LD helped me see that many members of my family have the problem in various degrees. When a great-niece was asked what she liked best about Schenck, she said, 'They don't make fun of you here.'


Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
