My niece & nephew go there and are receiving an excellent education.

Demorest elementary (DE) is clean, organized, sympathetic, goal oriented, courteous, emphasizes desired behavioral characteristics, emits empathy and maintains controlled harmony. DE is everything that a superior elementary school should be. Its staff is united in helping students achieve academically and socially.

I don't know, there is just something about this school & how they all work together to make our children's education the best it can be. I love it, and frankly, I don't want my child to go anywhere else, after 5th grade ;)

My son is now in the 6th grade, but my daughter still attends Demorest. (4th grade.) Most everyone is wonderful. There is NO BETTER teacher there than Mr. Robb! He has been a blessing. He has a way of reaching students that is amazing! He still keeps a check on my son every afternoon during bus transfer. My son knows that even now he can still go to him with a problem. It's wonderful to know that he cares so much about his students. My son has someone to trust when he needs outside family support. We love him! K Wheeler

My son is a student at Demorest and absolutly loves Mr. Spinks and the rest of the staff. I also am pleased with the teachers and staff. Mr. Spinks takes the time to meet and know his students and their parents. I plan on meking sure all three of my children attend Demorest Elem.
