I've had one child attend this school and one there now in first grade, and I can say the experience has been positive. The teachers are great, the principal is great. My son, now in his last year in middle school, really enjoyed his teachers and overall had a much better experience here than the school he attended for 2 years in Buckhead. My daughter, currently in the first grade and in her second year, really loves her teachers and is excelling (scoring among the highest in the county in math and reading). I'm not sure how this school is rated so low.

There's very few, if any, positive comments I can make about this school. Hire better staff, especially administration, and once this is done, Im quite certain that this school will change in an astounding way.

Overall I Believe Bob Mathis is a good school and 1 of the best elementary schools in the area. It's a very clean school and the students seemed be well behaved. The teachers and staff are also very professional. The class sizes are smaller than norm and I always see the principal greeting the parents and ensuring the students are doing what they are supposed do. The teachers are very helpful and show concerns for the students. I can honestly attest to this as I am a parent of a kindergartner who is very involved in my child's education. However, there is always room for improvement. I wish they offered more extra curriculum activities and an after school program. Each person experience can be different. After reading the previous parent comment, I was a little hesitant about this school overall. But, my experience with the school and principal has been the totally opposite. I believe that reviews from parents are very helpful and provides a lot of feedback. But at the end of day, sometimes you have to experience things for yourself. Maybe if there were consistent negative reviews about a particular school, then one should become a little concerned.
