Romar Academy

Romar is an excellent school. We've recently upgraded our computer lab and will be installing Smartboards and getting an IPAD library. Its challanging and requires parent involvement. It has a family atmosphere with many extracurricular activities.

Romar has one of the best cultures that I've seen. All of the kids know each other, even the older kids in 5th and 6th grades know the kids in Pre-K. The students encourage each other and have an innocence that you simply don't see in most other schools. No bullying or teasing, just friendship and support of each other. My oldest child gets upset if I pick him up from school before 5:30 because he enjoys being there so much. The parents are very involved and the family atmosphere is one of kind. I feel that my children are being challenged academically and ITBS scores prove it. Paying for private school is tough, but tuition at Romar is a bargain for what you get. The administration has listened to any concerns that I have brought to their attention and made an honest effort to address them. The school could use more funding, but their active PTA continues to raise funds to supplement their needs. I have visited upwards of 20 elementary schools around SW Atlanta, South Fulton County, and South/Southwest/West/Northwest of I-285 and this was by far the best fit for my children.

Romar is a blessing. I have two children there who are thriving and love to go to school in the morning. The early years program is awesome and challenging!

Romar Academy is the best kept secret in the Atlanta area. The small class size allows the excellent teachers to teach basic concepts in a nurturing envirornment. The PTA is one of the best in the Atlanta area and gearing up for a Fall Mixer and Holiday Toy exchange program. I recently attended the Fall Carnival and it was like attending a real live Home Coming: awesome! This private education setting is second to none.

Well seems like either Romar was listneing to the parents or they had enough of the administration thmesleves to make the decision to part ways with the previous director/staff. Welcome back family envioronment! Welcome back Romar!

Romar is an excellent choice for my children. It is one of the few accredited elementary institutions where parental support of excellence is highly encouraged. This year there are so many academic enlightning programs for the students. I am just amazed about the excellent test scores, exposure and guidance. This year Romar Goes Green campaign will help our children understand the importance of being an environmental safe country.

It kills me to see all of the negative comments about Romar Academy. My daughter has been at Romar since she was two and my son will be there this year for PK2. Most of the negative comments are about the director. My daughter has been reading since she was three years old and her entire kindergarten class scored higher than 98% of kindergartener s nation wide (mine scored in the 99th %). So if you want to base your decision off of something, use the numbers and not the personality clashes.

My children have attended Romar for the last three years. My Kindergartener has been reading since Pre-K3. He knew all of his phonics sounds in preK2. My two year old did not talk and was not potty trained at the beginning of the school year, but Mrs Knight and Mrs Saffold have worked miracles. He is talking, potty trained, well adjusted, knows all of his phonics sounds, can count to 60, and passes all of his quizses, yes I said quizzes. They really teach your children great fundementals of education and life. I believe the teaching staff at Romar Academy are the greatest asset to the school and my children.
