Lee Street is a wonderful school in Clayton County. It has 100% participation with PTA and a o tolerance on behavior. The teachers & principal know who the kids are as well as the parents & there doors are always open. Lee Street always have events for the parents as well as the students like CRCT night & community leaders coming to PTA meetings as well as the Fall festival which the school & the community is involved. I love Lee Street & my kids have been there since Pre-K and will be graduating this year. Lee Street is the Best!

My son had ghetto teacher and a para that fell asleep in class.The principal was asinine and the facilities sub-par. I came to volunteer and was treated like an outcast. I signed up to sit in his class and was treated as though I was out of place. Even my son came home upset about doing the same work his 3 yo sister was receiving from pre-k and there he seemed to become one in a crowd because he was well behaved with morals and manners. I transferred him to Scholars a charter school in Riverdale.

Lee Street is a wonderful School, with a great 'Community' feel. My daughter is in Kindergarten and is improving each report card she gets. I'm very proud of her, but I do know she feels comfortable, safe and ready to learn each day. This is coming from a child that is a bit over active. She's excited to come home everyday and show me what she's done and has goals she is trying to achieve before the year end. This change in attitude comes from this school. Great communication amoungst parents and teachers and the Principal/VP's doors are always open. Thank You Lee!

My son loves it at Lee Street. The principal and teachers are always interactive with the students. I also love the way they try to involve the parents in everything the students do. I would recommend anyone to let their child attend there.
