I have startee again at Boyd Elementary with my daughter. Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Rouselle are her kindergarten teachers. It is a blessing and a pleasure to have these two ladies in my life My daughter has had a hard time transisting over to elementary school to pre-k. It is because of the strong love that women posses within, my daughter is now trying to get on task. BOYD I LOVE YOU - and thanks for being there for my generation, my neice generation, and now all of my children have attended Boyd and they are 5 yrs apart. My oldest is Dequavious (15), Jacque' (10) and Zyria (5) the new addtion to Boyd. I am thankful for all that are supporting this school.

This is a great school. The teachers really care. They keep the parents informed and part of the education process.

My child has been enrolled at Boyd since kindergarten. He will be in the 2nd grade during the 04-05 school year. This is one of if not the best inner city elementary school in Atlanta. The student teacher ratio ensures that all students receive individual attention. The teachers at Boyd go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the success of students. My wife and I have been very pleased with the quality of instruction and the committment of the staff. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

It is a blessing for my children to pass thru this school. The teachers are dutifully committed. Infact they are more parents to the student than teachers. No doubt, my family is definitely going to miss the great quality which the school represent as we are about to unavoidably change environment. This is good avenue for me to say big thank u to all the custodians of this great school for both sound academical and moral knowledge impacted into all the children. Kudos to the selfless Principal and Teachers and wonderful school administrators.
