proud parent, i must say i am pleased that my son went to this school, we came from sanders elementary where i really did not like the staff, i must say at verner everyone is very nice and cares about the childen, i am sad that my 14yr old daughter did not get to experience going here, but my son went here for 2yrs and now graduating fifth grade and i'm soooooo happy that he got to received great educatin and respect from verner, could not be happier, but the only bad part is we half to move now because of tapp middle school, my daughter has been there for 2yrs and that school is terrible, she was bullied so much she wanted to end her life,we reported so many times no one there cares at all about the children and now we are forced to move because of that school,plz do not send your child to tapp, but varner is a great school,
When we moved here from Smyrna, I was a little skeptical regarding the school systems. We adored King Springs Elementary and thought that we would not find a school that could ever replace it. I must say that over a year later, Varner has met my expectations in academic excellence. The teachers are very helpful, professional and courteous and the administrative staff is top notch. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a school that not only keeps the children safe but is genuinely concerned about their education.
I am a parent of a fifth grader and a teacher in Paulding County. The administration is not asking teachers to submit reviews. I expect quality teachers and my son has received it. His teachers have been excellent, and we have been pleased every year. Stay involved in your child's education, and don't be so quick to judge the negative reviews.
We are very pleased with Varner! We moved to Powder Springs from Atlanta and let me just tell you that it is a 100% improvement over our childrens last school. The vice principal is friendly and honest and has taken the time to answer all of our questions. The majority of the teachers have been at Varner for 10 + years. Parents are encouraged to be involved and I feel like there is a real home/school connection.
Varner creates a ideal learning environment. Last year was our first year at Varner. My son couldn't wait to get to school everyday. I was amazed at how much he learned through hands on play, song, and the smart boards!
We LOVE Varner!Please come and see for yourself! Varner has so many wonderful teachers and great programs for the students! My daughter is so excited that she gets to go back to school! I would encourage any parent to come and meet some of the teachers and talk to Dr. Adeli. The parents are friendly and love to help out where we can! Varner is great, so come and see for yourself!
Varner has excellent teachers! We have had mostly postive experiences. My children's CRCT scores prove that they are learning. They are being challenged academically. There is a sense of family at the school.
Attention! For those of you who have considered sending your child to this school, please read all of the reviews. Every negative review of this school is immediately followed by several extremely positive reviews. I can say with most certainty that the administration is posting these positive reviews or instructing teachers to do it. This scam then bumps the negative reviews off of the front page, leaving only the positive reviews on the forefront. I have experienced this childish, unethical, dishonest behavior from the administration many times and this kind of behavior is right up their alley. Met another mom today who has decided to home school. That makes 11 students that I know of who have left Varner over the summer due to the horrible enviorment.
Varner is an amazing place to have your kids reach their potential. My son has developed his independence and confidence through the careful attention of his teachers, despite a rough start. My little girl is so excited to start her Varner journey and as a parent I know she will excell in this environment just as her brother did. The PTA is amazing and the growing number of involved parents is only going to make things even better!
My grandkids go to Varner and they love it! I actually think they ask for a lot of help from the parents. My daugher has a fulltime job so I end up volunteering in her place.
