I am the parent of a fourth grader at Harmony Leland. Under past leadership, this school was one of the most innovative schools in the county. I am extremely dissappointed in the new administration.

My children love this school tremendously. The staff is caring and dedicated. Parent involvement is good but could be better. I have remained in an apartment complex for 3 1/2 years just to stay in this school district.

I am the parent of a 1st grader at Harmony-Leland, a Leonard Bernstein School of the Arts. I am totally pleased with my experiences within the school. There is an awesome environment of nurturing, caring and learning throughout. Under the direction of the Principal, Mrs. Ervin, the school has made and continues to make wonderful progress. Kudos also to Mr. Weathers, Ms. Maynard, the counselors, teachers and paraprofessionals. My son attends one of the best elementary schools in Georgia.

My son is in 1st grade at Harmony-Leland. Harmony-Lelannd is a school with great leadership, which causes high moral with teachers and staff which transpires effective teaching. Students respect each other and their teachers. Students are challedged and learn in a loving and caring environment. It is truly harmonious, living up to the schools'name!
