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.

Amazing culture and values reinforced from the moment you walk through the door. The school leadership is engaged unlike any school I have ever experienced. Much more culturally diverse than given credit for, but every kid feels part of something special at Chestatee. Teachers go above and beyond and challenge and support students regardless of their levels. My mother was a life long educator and worked at many schools - the T is by far the best culture I have ever seen.

I have loved Chestatee Elementary for my two kids. The teachers have challenged them well but also helped them when concepts were hard. Everyone is very friendly too.

My daughter just finished fourth grade and has been at Chestatee since kindergarten. She has had amazing teachers every year. The administration is very visible, positive, and involved. There are family nights every month. This is a great school and I can't say enough good things about it!
