Chattahoochee Elementary School

Posted July 29, 2009

Our experience at Chattahoochee has been great! The Principal, Jeff Lee, did an amazing job in his first year (08-09) & has fired up the PTA, kids and teachers in a way I've never seen them before. This school's PTA is very involved and works hard to support the teachers, who care so much for our kids. The caveat here, of course, is that Chattahoochee, like all schools in the area, has to conform to the rules set by the state. The state's continuing failure to recognize children's cognitive abilities (resulting in inappropriately advanced curricula), the constant pushing for higher test scores at the expense of creative thinking, and the overbearing strictness regarding attendance policy is only serving to further the difficulty our children have in school. Chattahoochee does have to conform to these policies, yes, but the school community itself is such a wonderful place to be.

Extremely unsupportive of single moms with a learning disabled child. The system is profoundly familial based-not allowing for a diversified vision that incorporates all children. I applaud Principal Lee's efforts but he a way to go; to successfully satisfy the GCPS mission and vision statement. ITs not all about CRCT scores! Learning for all children in all contexts.

Chattahoochee is truly a great school. Principal Lee is new to the school this year and has already had a very positive effect on the spirit of our school. The teachers are excellent. Parents know that their children are learning in this very positive atmosphere.

Chattahoochee has a new principle and we look forward to new exciting improvements to great school. The PTA is fab and have raised money for new facilities.
