My granddaughter has attended Prospect since Kindergarten. Everyone is caring and viasable at all school functions - this means the entire staff is committed to these children, not just a job for the money. When I come to school I am greeted warmly and feel welcome. I think my daughter is learning a great deal.

I had a choice of putting my daughter in private school or prospect public school, and I am so happy with putting her here at this school. Everyone, even students are so polite and helpful. The staff really cares. I am a teacher at another school and I am impressed with the quality of education offered here.

Prospect is a great school with a committed and caring staff. We have had two children attend Prospect and they were both well prepared for middle school. We would recommend Prospect to anyone considering a Bradley County elementary school.

Prospect is a family and community driven school. To have a balance in the best interest of the children in this small of a community you must not forget the politics of the world surrounding it. We have some of the best test scores and happiest kids in Bradley County. I for one and extremly pleased with this school.

The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
