Newton County Theme School at Ficquett

A wonderful experience. I’m so thankful my daughter attended this school. While the other teachers probably were great, I thought my daughter ended up with the best kindergarten teacher ever. I especially loved that this school appeared to be more structured, mandatory compliance to uniform dress code, and what appeared to be a high level of parental involvement.

I would rate my experience at this school as an A+. Thank you guys, and keep up the good work. One thing I can ask is that we incorporate a Black History Program that is known to the parents and students. I think all races should be aware of the Black Heritage and History.

The focus seems to shift from what students need to what the administration wants. Students are deprived from basic needs such as outdoor time sometimes or even human interaction during meal time. The school feels stressful to me as an adult during my few volunteering hours I spent there. I can only imagine that it is 10 times worse for the young minds who crave that creative environment for them to thrive. The poor yet very qualified teachers could not escape from that same fate, and you can tell that they are sitting and hoping for someone to come and save them before the new system suck the life and joy out of them. Can't help but be the good cop with my child at all time since the bad cop "school" is taking the role to the next level.

This is a really great school! We are very blessed to have gotten in! They really challenge the kids to do their best!
