Niche Reviews
9/8/2025
We joined Pace as a new family in the sixth grade when our daughter enrolled. From day one, Pace could not have been more welcoming, and they always seemed more interested in our family than some of the competitor schools did. From day one our daughter felt like she was a part of the school, had a great friend group, connected with the teachers, and was a true part of the community. We could not be happier with our decision and being a part of the Pace family.
9/3/2025
As a parent of a new middle schooler, we could not be happier with our decision to choose Pace. (In full disclosure, we also considered and were admitted to Lovett and Westminster, among others.) The school community has been welcoming and inviting, and our son has been challenged and inspired by his teachers from the outset. It is an adjustment going from public elementary to private middle school (or just elementary to middle, period), but Pace has made it as easy as possible on our son, and we have enjoyed the journey thus far.

Pace Academy is an amazing school. It has a rigorous academic curriculum, while still shaping students to be positive contributors to the world around them. The Pace community is welcoming and inviting. The administration, faculty, and staff are first-rate.

We have had a wonderful experience with Pace for our rising 1st grader. She is thriving in an academically and socially supportive environment. The teachers are incredible, and the sense of community extends from K to 12 !
10/10/2024
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...
