My children have had a wonderful experience at MRS. They have an engaged staff who shows that they care about the students’ well-being and success. We are proud to be an MRS family!

Mills River is an amazing place for my daughter. This is her second year there. The staff and teachers truly care about the children and seeing them succeed. My daughter is deaf and uses cochlear implants. They have gone above and beyond to make sure she has what she needs to learn everyday. The school is well supported by the parents and community which adds to their success. It is #ThePlaceToBe.

This school does not live up to its ratings. Two of my children went to this school and I was very disappointed with their teachers. In fact, my daughter's fifth grade teacher was the worst teacher any of my 5 children has ever had! This is definitely not a skewed opinion or from the parent of a trouble maker; my daughter is an A student and is social, sweet, and has no weird personality or behavior issues. They got a new principal the year we left and he seems MUCH better than the last one who would never talk to parents. The front office staff is only marginally friendly. There may be teachers here who are better as we have experience with only a handful, but it is sad that a school allows the kind of horrific behavior from a teacher and does nothing about it! If you are new to the area and looking for a good school, Fletcher Elementary is the best! The school zones were redrawn twice while living in the area so my children have been to Edneyville Elem (only 1 child), Fletcher Elem, Etowah Elem, and Mills River Elem. Hands down Fletcher is the best but we bought a home in Etowah thinking that because of the ratings, it would be a great school also.
