We have been in the district now for 7 years and love everything about the community at this school. Whenever I have had any concern it was addressed immediately. My four children have excelled at this school and my oldest graduated this year and is now in Gifted at Jordan Middle.

We had a terrible time at this school. The teachers and administration are all apathetic and tired. My child was constantly harassed by students and teachers alike. I was told he had behavior problems. We moved to a different county and a better school system. Low and behold his "behavior problems" are totally gone. They need to address the real problems at this school.

I'm very happy with this school. All employees are very friendly. My daughter loves Simonton Elementary and that is the most important for me.No idea why score is so low considering this school is in top 10% of Title! I would recommend to everyone to go and to check that school, I think you will be nicely surprised.

The school has improved immensely under Dr. Young's leadership. She is extremely involved with the children. I have been very lucky to have Ms. Stacey Hughes and Ms. Whaley as my child's gifted education teachers. They are very open and approachable. I hope we see more parent involvement as this is the key to better academic performance.

I'm very impressed by the principal's involvement in the kids activity. Wow my child's teacher in Kindergarten has a masters degree and working on a doctorate and above all my kid can read very well and is actually 2 grades above her reading class. I do understand the prior problem in d school was overcrowding but thank God for Gwinnett county 2 schools were built to ease this. Above all most parents think the job is done once their kids go to school and its the sole responsibility of the teachers to educate the kids; NO they have 80% of the work cut out for them to make sure their kids excel.

I love this school, Dr. Young is really involved with the children and has introduced some great new programs. My son had Mrs. Little in Kindergarten and Mrs. Hammond in 1st grade and also Mrs. Whaley for as his gifted and talented teacher. All of these teachers were very open and honest, communication was a two way street and they always returned emails the same day.
