This school deserves each and every one of those five stars. My children have been in 3 different elementaries because of family moves and I couldn't be more pleased with Fernbank. The teachers and staff are PHENOMENAL. The curriculum is challenging but right where it should be in my opinion. The parent involvement is out of this world--you have to schedule a time to volunteer because there are so many willing parents! I highly recommend this school to anyone and everyone I know.
My kids currently attend Fernbank and we have had a good experience. One thing I must tell all parents though is not to bother so much about school rankings. Your kid will excel in most good school enviroments if you have the right teacher and support. Fernbank is great but not exceptional, it can do with alot of work in a lot of areas,especially the so-called Dekalb county gifted program and some teachers, but I must give a big thumps up to the parent volunteers and the PTA. I have not been very pleased with the academics, they do not ahve any unique programs to distinguish their school, most kids are from educated and well-to-do homes so you expect a certain level of intelligence, I do not think Fernbank has added to that. But if you are looking fro aneighborhood school, with a gteacher staffed after-school program, this is it.
