Vaughan Elementary School

I have two children who attended Vaughan from Kindergarten through fifth grade and it has been a very positive experience. Parents are encouraged to become involved and the teachers and staff care deeply about the students. As another parent said, many of the staff members live in the area and have children that attend Vaughan so they have a vested interest in the school. The middle school and high school that Vaughan feeds into are also fantastic schools. I would highly recommend this community to anyone wanting to move to West Cobb.

Vaughn Elementary The worst school experience possible. If you are new, your child does not stand a chance of breaking the code. The Teachers are not helpful. Administration even less helpful. My child is so discuraged, this school year cannot end soon enough!

Transitioned here from another school and couldn't be more disappointed. Chose this school due to ratings and recommendation and it has been a terrible experience. Our child is social and easy going and has been repeatedly bullied for it and threatened to learn his place in a new territory. It was reported to administration and the children did not face any consequences. Prior to this, our child looked forward to school everyday and since we moved, it is just the opposite. Does not want to go and does not like school at all. Grades have dropped and I am struggling to get assistance with it. Would not recommend this school.

Now that they have a new principal (started in 2012-13 school year) this is the best administration Vaughan could have ever asked for. They have a wonderful nurse also.

Vaughan has a very good faculty and staff. I've had children attend K-5 at this school over the last 14 years. Principals have come and gone but many of the same teachers are still there and I am glad for that. Leadership protects instruction time and all staff seem very dedicated to providing a great learning environment and finding the best learning path for each child. Much of the faculty lives in the same general area and their children attend the same schools as mine. There is a very active PTSA, a nurse on staff who is caring and knowledgeable, "specials" teachers who are full of energy, and a great cafe staff. There is a large, well organized media center and lots of books from which to choose. The office staff is friendly. The school is always clean and maintenance appears to be done on time and correctly. The surrounding community is one that generally believes in the importance of education and, as such, values the school.

This is our first year attending Vaughan Elementary. We feel blessed to be a part of this school. The teachers and staff truly care about the students and parents are very involved. The positive attitudes and ant-bullying culture is price-less. We have no complaints and all praises for this school!

Our daughter has attended Vaughan for three years now and we have had a wonderful experience. Our daughter began to have some challenges this year which we were able to quickly address with the support of school administration. Couldn't be happier.

My son & many of the neighborhood kids really enjoy learning at this school. Teachers are very responsive and cooperative with parents and the school offers many opportunities for parents and community to be involved with educating the children. The inside is painted with murals of country gardens, zoos and solar systems. It's probably the most inviting and beautiful public school I have ever seen. I feel comfortable, safe and close-knit with the school community. Thanks Vaughan Elem Staff, PTSA, students and parents for being such a good example of public education going in the right direction!
