This preschool is a horrible place for both children and staff. The school is poorly managed and extremely unorganized. The teachers are understaffed and do not have classroom management skills or the resources to fix the situation. Your child will not be taught anything while here. The children are not treated well. Many of the children are violent, aggressive, struggling with developmental disabilities, or extreme behavioral issues. There is no behavioral specialist or special needs services to address this. Children become physically and verbally violent and aggressive with each other and towards teachers. Nothing is done about the behavior and the kids run wild around the school. There is no established system to restrain violent or runaway children, and they can sometimes be mishandled. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE! They will fall behind academically, pick up bad habits and behaviors from others, and mistreated.

This school is a horrible place! I have expereinced staff members being kicked, and punched by children. The students fight one another and the leadership team allows this to continue. It is a very unorganized facilty where staff members are very rude. The children are very aggressive to teachers and other children. I do not recommend this school to anyone.

This school is crazy. I helped out for one month and wanted to run out. The supervisors and inexperienced in education, the kids are severely aggressive and disrespectful, other staff members are rude. This is hostile environment for kids and adults. A boy attacked a girl in the bathroom and nothing was done about it. He went back to class like nothing happened. Send your kids elsewhere. This place is crazy .

My daughter attended this school from PK until 2nd grade at which time I removed her. Nice teachers but do they know how/what to teach????We had a nagging feeling our daughter was not given enough work nor was she doing work average PRIVATE schools were given; so we had her tested. Needless to say, she is below where an average 2nd grader needs to be academically. This school does not test your childs general abilities nor is academics up to par. They focus mainly on your bill being paid on time and religion.There is never ample parking picking up and dropping off. Kids have no cafeteria or use of the kitchen unless they're preschoolers, OH AND NO NUTS ALLOWED IN ANY OF THE FOOD!!! There is no music, arts, or enough homework period. THANK GOD we have our daughter in a more thriving environment where she's already done more work than she would have done during her first 10 days at SGA!!! Oh, and its cheaper and she can have her peanut butter and jelly, use of a newly built gym, cafeteria!!!

The school is declining. It's the end of January and I have not received a report card or progress report. They do not give students math home work and I paid a book fee however my child has never been given anything to bring home other than 1 piece of paper with 15 spelling words on it. The spelling words are in no logical order and has made it difficult for him to learn to read. The new location of the school is awful and the school is always open when public and parochial schools are closed, even in inclement weather. My child is behind academically and now he needs a tutor.
