We’ve had a great experience at Whitesburg and love the support we’ve had here. My son requires a 504 plan and they’ve been wonderful in helping us reach his goals. His teacher has been great!!

Whitesburg Elementary was a great place for my children for K to 5th grade. The teachers really care about their students and prepare them well. Mrs. Jones is an outstanding principal.
