9/11/2024
Pace Academy has been a perfect fit for our daughter. She started in 9th grade, once she graduated from her elementary/middle school. We were fortunate to have so many wonderful choices and chose Pace Academy over the other private and public school options. She has thrived academically, socially and athletically. We are sad that this is her last year at Pace Academy before leaving the nest for college. - Kelly Richman (Pace Parent of 2025 graduate)
9/27/2022
I currently have two children at Pace and they both have had an exceptional experience. Both my children are interested in different things (Art & Athletic Programing) and there is a place for both. The teachers have all been amazing. They lead with empathy, skill, and kindness. Each year each teacher made it priority to get to know my children. The friendships they have made have been incredible.
9/27/2022
We have attended Pace Academy for ten years and could not be more pleased with the culture, community, academics and extra-curricular activities. Pace excels because it has engaged administration and faculty and a parent community that loves creating opportunities for families to coalesce. We've made lifetime friendships here and our kids loved every single day of school.

It is one of the best schools in Buckhead. The children are amazing and respectful, while the teachers are truly amazing at their job. The students learn so much. There are also many opportunities for leadership and skill building in this environment. They never cease to make everyone feel welcome a...
9/5/2022
Toxic work culture and horrific leadership. This past school year (2021-22), 1/4 of elementary teachers resigned. Although the administration claims that the resignations resulted from the Pandemic / Great Resignation, it is untrue. Many teachers departed before the end of the school year due to unb...
7/13/2021
Academically, Pace is a suburb school. I attend 6-12 and believe nearly every teacher changed my life and got me to the point I was today. The extracurricular programs were strong and kept students involved after school. My only reason for including 4 stars would be that socially, Pace isn't necessa...
3/2/2017
I was bullied ever single day of middle school, the teachers all knew and never did anything. I'm high school when it persisted my dean told me to avoid the bullies. Pace is not a safe learning environment. I went from high As to Cs because of Pace. I now suffer from depression and anxiety, all link...
