I'm a student of Elite and attending has it's advantages and disavantages. Here are the good points. It's a wonderful place to get a good education. The teachers are exceptional!!! They are willing to come in before and stay after school to help any student that may need extra help. It's a year round school and after my first year I got use to it. My main concern is the old facility we are currently in. The janitors seem like they do a good job at cleaning, but when the students enter the building, we often see "roaches" in the building. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY TO ME! Overall, I give the administration a "B" score and I hope soon that we will be in our brand new school building.
And review posted on Sept. 4, 2011 by a student. I'm 70% that comment is fake. As of the 2011-2012 year, we only have latin and spanish. we only have grades 6 to 10 and we are working our way up to 12, my class will be the first graduation glass in 2014. This school is good for clayton county, but overall, we're a school that need so much work.
My daughter attended Elite for one year, and unfortunately there wasn't ANYTHING elite about it. Too often, teachers focused on test preparation instead of critical thinking, the students weren't disciplined, and there was a lack of diversity. In comparison to the average Clayton County school, they are one of the better schools, but that's not saying much. They still have a lot of growing to do.
I have never seen a school like this. Parents and teachers work together so well. Student work hard for their education and teachers love seeing the faces of the students when they have learned something new. There are a many classes that have open discussions and debates. The teachers would do anything to help us(includeing staying after school, missing their planning period, or even working on the weeking for tutorial). We also have foreign languages such as Latin, French, and Spanish. The school also has grades 6th- 12th. There are so many magnificent things I could tell you but I don't want to spoil the fun. I love attending school now because Elite makes it fun. Every one there is like my family and thats what Elite is trying to do , "make a family".
I like The teacher's personalities. The school bathrooms could use an upgrade and a cleaning! Going to school year round took some getting use to, but I am use to it now. Elite is becoming a great school environment, and with the help of parental volunteers it can continue to improve. We are all hoping to one day receive our new facility with tennis courts, swimming pool, lacrosse field, and fully loaded technological classrooms. We need more teachers like Mr. Gray who is always excited about the learning experiences that take place at elite.
