Sarah Moore Greene Elementary / Magnet

I am a parent and a volunteer new to Sarah Moore Greene this year. Please don't take too much stock in old reviews. I sent my child to this school by choice- we had other options, but after a couple visits, SMG was the clear fit. The deciding factor for me was the culture. Students walk up to you and tell you about their work. The atmosphere is positive, filled with pride and compassion. These are the values I want my child to develop in school. I look forward to the coming years.

I volunteered at this school in March 2017 through my employer and must say I was amazed at how the principal (which I hear is new this year) is so engaged with the students and called every student that she saw in the hallway as we were going from class to class by name. They smiled back at her, and you could see that they truly liked and trusted her. I volunteered in 3 different classrooms and 2 out of the 3 teachers were very loving with their students. They had control of the class, and the students appeared engaged. The atmosphere of the school was welcoming and friendly and were very thankful that we were there. I was looking up another school on this site for a friend and just thought I would check out SMG. I'm glad I did because the negative reviews that I read were not the experience that I had there. I'm happy to say I was very impressed with this school and the attention that the administration is placing on acknowledging and encouraging all of the students.

SMG is a joke. The principal is not approachable and her other assistants are condescending to everyone Why would you put your most ineffective admins at this school? We need strong leadership not left overs?

This is my daughter's first year attending and the atmosphere is horrible. I feel bad transferring my daughter to this school. The communication between parents and teachers is horrible. I am currently looking for a way to get her back to her old school Spring Hill.
