This school is awful.My son is only 7 years old and it hurt me yesterday to watch him break down telling me on how the bigger kids bully him. I’m starting to belive that these so called teachers just want a check and don’t care about the safety of the children. My 4 year old witnessed my son being chased she watched him run to her pre-k teacher and he told her the boy is chasing me trying to beat me up..I lost it when my daughter told me that her teacher responded to my son with why are you running in the hallway? I’m like was she not listening what was my son to do walk and get beat up? Not to mention that he is being bullied in the cafeteria has been in numerous fights. No one has called and told me not a damn thing. But they can tell you when your child misses school.. GET IT TOGETHER PEACHCREST.. There has been to many children that has taken their lives due to being bullied. Where is the safety net for our children while we as the parents are entrusted are children’s safety to you while they are in your care?

I’m with Nikki – can’t stand this school! My daughter was only in Kindergarten last school term and she was constantly harassed by her teacher daily. She would threaten to leave my child on the bus during field trips and just downright pick on her (which I spoke to the Principal about and doesn’t seem like much was done). By the end of the school year, I was receiving calls or text msgs DAILY from this teacher “tattling” on my daughter…. a 5 YEAR OLD! I finally had to call this woman out and tell her to stop calling me during my work day! In my opinion, this teacher has no business teaching this particular grade level… her attitude and demeanor is more suited for middle school… Don’t even get me started on a couple of the ladies in the cafeteria – the way they talk to the children is completely inappropriate and uncalled for. If you have another choice of school to send your child to, do that.

I absolutely hate this school, my son was a transfer from stone mill elementary where I should have kept him. I transferred him in February and they have suspended him over 3 times already, they call everyday, they have the nerve to tell me that he roams the halls for over 2 hours by himself and I’m trying to understand how Can a 7 yr old in the first grade do that much. The school has over 1100 kids in it which I ridiculous they can’t handle all of these kids and it not fair to the kids. Although I may admit my son has behavior problems but this is ridiculous for them to suspend him the way they do and call me all the time everyday. Then tell me that’s the way that Dekalb county operate, in not going for that I’ve always reached out to the board of education and waiting on my reply. This school needs a revamp ASAP!
