We have been very pleased with this school. We moved here from out of state and without the advantage of word-of-mouth suggestions. The additional programs, gifted classes, and advanced projects that they complete are well focused and add to overall development and learning. The involvement from partents is amazing as well.
Our grandson is in Kindergarten at May Howard. I pick him up 3 days a week after school and when I ask him how his day was, he always says 'Great!' He's learning a lot but he thinks they're just having fun. The teacher to staffing ratio is excellent and the quality of the staff is top-notch. I don't see how a private school could possibly do better than this school is doing.
The teachers,staff, and administration were VERY supportive of us. They were the one bright spot of my child's day. The physical building of the school however, was below average. Also, the school doesn't have a very diverse student body.
May Howard ES is one of the few bright spots in our public school system. The outstanding teachers are talented, hardworking and dedicated to student learning and success. Our wonderful parents are involved in their childrens' education and are supportive of the staff. The students are the best anywhere!
My son is in Pre-K May Howard now, he never stop talking about his activity in his class and so many great story about them (his teacher, his friend, his class, his playground, his library etc.) and the teacher is so unbelievable, she so caring, full attention, so creative and so many awesome thing from her. We just love her very much. And all about May Howard just the best.
I have 2 children at May Howard and think highly of the school. It is academically challenging and the teachers really care about the students. My children really look forward to the days that they have art, music and P.E. There is a positive climate and lots of parental involvement. I highly recommend this school.
This is a top-notch school! Academics are top priority. The staff is always striving to challenge and engage every student in all areas of learning. My children have exceeded what was expected for the grade level on standardized testing every year. Teachers provide learning in a fun but meaningful approach. Music, art, and PE are taught at all grade levels. My daughters have participated in extracurricular activities such as; chess club, drama, chorus, walking club, 5th grade basketball game against teachers, media festival, GA Young Authors, and much more. The parent involvement is enormous! The PTA raises tens of thousands of dollars for the school each year. The school logs thousands of parent volunteer hours each year. You better arrive early for school functions or you will have to park down the road. This school has accomplished a lot because we work together like one big happy family.
