GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Bill Arp has been wonderful for our daughter. She has attended for Kindergarten and 1st grade so far, and we are looking forward to grades 2 - 5. Her teachers have been wonderful and have challenged her to grow academically and socially. The administration communicates well and has the best interest of students at heart.

So far so good my childs first grade teacher Mrs. Cooper is just a text away if I have any questions. Compared to Cobb county this school is ahead and pushes children to learn and read. Staff is friendly haven't had any concerns that weren't addressed.
