Boston Elementary School

Boston Elementary was such a disappointment after we moved from another Metro Atlanta county so our kids could go to what we thought was a good school system. I watched my daughter who loved learning go from a confident happy child to a girl who hated to talk about or go to school. The reason was evident in my first Parent-Teacher conference when the other classroom teacher threw her hands up in exasperation when talking about my child. There was not a behavioral issue, she was just shy and a little scared to be going to a school when her Pre-K was small. There are several other items but essentially we felt as if kids were treated like cattle. Any kids who did not immediately catch on were left behind and got to complete their work in the hallway. I am giving 2 stars because my child did have fun interacting with the other teachers however we did pull our child out of this school and went to a school that she is excelling in.

Welcome to Boston! This is truly an excellent school! Quality teachers and administrators, clear differentiation in teaching methods, involved parents, and a positive and welcoming climate. We couldn't be happier with the education our children are receiving! Thank you!

My daughter goes to this school and always comes home happy. She says that this is the best school and when she is in fifth grade(she is in first grade right now) she does not want to go to a different school. I I am glad that she is happy and anyone who goes to that school is going to love it! The pricipal is really nice,the teachers are really good(they teach really well and get along with the kids really well), I'm just so happy that my daughter is happy!

There are some great teachers at Boston who actually want to do above and beyond with are children and not just what is recommended. Unfortunatley there's not enough of them! I also think because this school has such a ethnic diveristy they have to spend alot of time with language barriers. This mostly applies in the younger grades. If I had a choice to put my child here again I would think otherwise.

This is a wonderful school. I have had three children attend and it is a pleasure knowing that they are receiving the skills needed to compete in the future from nurturing teachers.

Boston is an excellent school with caring and devoted teachers. It offers many different ways for a child to learn and grow outside of just regular classroom learning.

All 3 of my sons went through Boston. It is an awesome school. I wish that 5th and 6th grade had not be seperated from this school. My youngest son missed alot by being moved to the other school. Everyone teachers, admin, lunch staff, and the janitor Chris all rocked ! Kepp up the great work.

we moved from cobb county and my son was in a very unorganized charter school and unfortuntely missed out on learning much more than I could teach him an hour each night. BES was so proactive and supportive-he actually started learning and most importantly gained confidence in his abilities. I wish we would have moved sooner. The teachers and admin all have had our back since the beginning.

Ms. Whitworth is the best kindergarten teacher I've ever seen. I have 4 children, all taught by different teachers, and she is by far the best teacher any of my children has ever had!!

My child is in kindergarten at Boston and we've had a wonderful time so far. It is kind of like a little home town school where you wouldn't particularly expect to find one.
