This is an update to my 'overcrowded' review of May 2007. I want to commend Ford Elementary and Cobb County schools - Job Well Done! Re-districting, a new elementary school, and outstanding Ford professionals (leadership, teachers, and everyone at the school) have resolved all past crowding issues already. Having another wonderful year at Ford!

My children have recieved an excellent education at Ford. Their Target program is the best. We moved here from California and the gifted program here far exceeds anything they were doing there. I have had 3 children in Ford Elementary and have to say for the most part they have had great teachers - very caring and enthusiastic and very focused on education. Ford is definitely overcrowded, the redistricting is a mess and the overcrowding will not be relieved for a while as many parents will choose to drive their kids to Ford.

I love Ford Elem.! The parents play a key role in making this school so great. There are so many parent volunteers giving their time and we appreciate them so much.

I have been very pleased with Ford. The new principal is outstanding. Very focused on student learning and protective of instruction time. My child's teacher is probably the best teacher I've encountered in the last 10 years that my kids have been in school! The area that we live in here in Cobb County is growing and schools are crowded. This should hopefully be relieved when boundaries are redesigned for the 2008-09 school year.
