Cleveland Elementary School

My son transferred here struggling with school and although he still struggles the Administration and most of the teachers are very supportive of him.

Cleveland Elementary has the best musical program in the state of GA. I have three grandchildren at Cleveland and never miss a program. It amazes me what this wonderful educator does with our children.

I love Cleveland Elementary. The faculty and staff are fantastic. We moved here over the summer and my son started 5th Grade...very rough transition for him from a small private school to a big public school. The teachers and other needed facutly rallied around him to help him in every way and to help me and show me how to help him. I love it and am very pleased with this school

We decided to have our sons attend Cleveland due to it feeding into Bennetts Mill Middle School. (military family here for short time only) We have been very happy with the performance of kids, the extra instruction they needed to 'catch them up' after entering in the middle of the year. Very happy. Also love Bennetts Mill MS.

Cleveland Elementary is as good as it gets in public school! Our daughter has attended grades 1-3 and she has excelled in this environment. Very few, if any negative issues, high parent involvement, great school atmosphere and spirit. Don't hesitate when considering Cleveland.

I am pleased with Cleveland Elementary. I appreciate the fact that the school strives to teach children academic as well as life skills. I love the fact that there is open communication between teachers and parents as well. The parent involvement is a big plus and I feel that it is a safe, comfortable, stimulating environment for my child to learn.

I am a parent of a third grader at Cleveland. He came in the middle of the second grade from a county which had lower expectations of their students. He struggled in the beginning, but the teachers worked with him and kept me informed. He is an A/B student. It is unfortunate that in this day and age some parents send their children not only to be taught by the teachers; but also to be raised. They then cry foul if they disagree with the teacher. As a parent, I feel it's my responsibility to be actively involved in my son's school. I would like to thank the administration and staff of Cleveland. The Crocs Rock!!!

I agree with the comment that this faculty is more appreciative of high-achieving kids, rather than those who struggle. My son was in the reading program from Kindergarten thru 2nd grade and it really wasn't helping much. We finally resorted to hiring a private tutor during 2nd grade. He's now an A student, but his Kindergarten teacher couldn't understand what was 'wrong' with him. We knew that once he developed his reading skills, he would excel. I don't want to sound too critical. It's probably above average in GA, just not a 'great' school yet.

As a certified staff member, I would like to respond to the criticism of the administration. I feel like the administration is getting an unfair judgement by the 'holier than thou' parents. I have worked one-on-one with the administrators and, yes, I have disagreed with their decisions from time to time. I do feel like they are keeping what's best in mind for the school. They work hard everyday dealing with test scores, happy and unhappy parents, and everyday school issues. The administration is do their best to work with all of the parents. Have you ever thought that may some of these irate parents are too blind to see what ir tight before their eyes? Maybe they are upset that we are pointing out that their child isn't an angel like they thought they were. People...Walk a mile in their shoes before you start to complain about sore feet.
