Look elsewhere - several years of experience with this school taught me a valuable lesson. I suspect that the person who wrote the Poor Student = Poor Parent review must be a teacher since they are so defensive and seem to have trouble with punctuation. Seriously, everyone that I know that left has found a better education and that includes leaving for a public school. This school and teachers are far from being Christlike...it is very sad. It used to be a good school but about 6 years ago it went downhill...mostly attibuted to the principal. This school concentrates almost solely on getting good grades on the ITBS. This means that things like writing suffer tremendously. The teachers/staff are very unprofessional, especially at the front office. If you want your child to be bullied by other kids and some teachers, then go to Mt. Carmel. Otherwise, go to a different Christian school or a public school where more programs to help/teach are available.

Poor Student = Poor Parent Poor Parent = Need to blame someone else Need to blame someone else = blame the teacher The school is fine; take a look at the students / parents who complain and leave. There are some parents who want to lay blame on others. Good luck to those schools who get those that have left Mt Carmel!!

The reviews containing 5 starts are written by school staff. Don't believe the hype!!! This school needs a lot of work. The 5th grade teacher is a KNOWN bully. I would go so far as to say that she's in need of treatment for some sort of mental illness. Children are not emotional safe around her.

As a parent of a child that used to attend this school I can honestly say this school has a lot of issues with teachers. Both of the Johnson teachers are horrible...one of them bullies the kids and the other is simply inept. The feeling you get there is that the teachers and principal simply don't care...it's all about them. My child was way behind in writing skills after leaving the school. Take my advice and look elsewhere for a Christian school....this one lacks Christian values.

The Reviewer that claims to have sent their daughter to this school for the past 5 years where teacher' s bully, sounds completely untrue. Really? This was going on, and you chose to continue to send her there. Sounds as if you need parenting skills.

One of the worst schools that you could ever send your child to is Mount Carmel Christian. The school is terribly disorganized .My daughter has gone to Mount Carmel for the past 5 years and she has been bullied by the staff, and other children. The school has no respect for other parents. The new principal, Mrs. Moore, is the epitome of bad leadership, and exudes lack of confidence and/or ability to manage the school. The previous princicpal, Mr. Haselden, left after teaching in the school for 25 years, and took a position in a public school district sounds like he made a wise decision to disappear before things became worst. This is the worst school in the Atlanta Private school district. Stay away.

I have never regreted sending my children to Mount Carmel. They do well on the ITBS testing and they have really loved the engineering classes. I have graduated 1 child so far and have 2 more at the school. When 1st child graduated, they were ahead of most of the kids in their new school (9th grade Freshman). The teachers have always worked with my children to see the individual needs of each. My husband and I couldn't be happier with Mount Carmel.

Declining enrollment year after year says it all. Children rarely complete more than 75% of each textbook in classes. Those children that go on to public schools are actually BEHIND in their ability to write compositions....this problem has been going on for several years at Mount Carmel. Also, it is a stretch to consider this school Christian based on the value system of many of the teachers and principal.
