Wonderful school with fantastic teachers. We have multiple children at this school and the teachers know our kids very well. It probably helps that our kids are well-behaved, listen and actually care about learning. I see reviews from other parents here who are complaining about this school and I really can't understand how it's possible to not be happy with the staff, teaching and curriculum here. The principal is very responsive and active with parents. It's important for parents to get involved in school activities. It shows your own kids that you care. There are a few kids (we hear from our kids) who act up and create distractions in the classrooms but, from what we have heard, the teachers are good at disciplining and moving the class along.

We moved to GA for better schools and have been blown away by our experience at Sweet Apple. Ouroldest has a 504 plan and is gifted. The school has been so supportive, empathetic, and proactive to make sure our needs are met. Our middle has advanced so quickly this last year after struggling with reading at the beginning. The teachers have been amazing so far and seem to actually love their jobs. The parents are very involved and there’s a lot of effort to make things fun for the kids. We’re so happy we ended up at this school!

The school and administration are very focused on appearances and ratings versus substance and the student experience. Compared to other schools in the area, we didnt get a lot of guidance during COVID. The teachers and staff are fairly adversarial in their interactions with parents. Do not be fooled by the ratings you see on this school. They are not focused on the children or teaming with parents on solutions.

My child has spent her first few years at Sweet Apple. Everyone is so supportive and works as a team. When issues arise, all work to find solutions.

Sweet Apple is a great school w even better teachers. The environment is primed for learning, and leadership and teachers are responsive and communicative, which is so appreciated. The PTO is top notch and parents are encouraged to be involved. We can see clearly why this school is currently ranked a 10- and it’s well deserved.

This is a wonderful school filled with amazing teachers, support staff and admin. Our child enjoys school and is excelling, much like their peers. Can’t say enough good things.

The leadership at this school is ineffective and uninspiring. Unfortunate as the community of families is very involved! Agreed with other comments regarding consistency amongst the classrooms

Challenging times at this school. Teachers doing their best but widely vary in practices. Not a lot of resources available for struggling students despite efforts from parents

Sweet Apple is a great school with wonderful teachers. The leaders could be better, but the parents are involved and it is a great community.

Used to be a great school but has significantly gone downhill the past few years, due to lack of leadership and integrity from the administration.

I’ve had three children attend the school and have been so pleased with our experiences. Administration and staff are great.

I have two students at Sweet Apple Elementary and they are thriving! Was incredibly pleased with our schools recent report card rating too -- the highest in Roswell and one of top (3) in North Fulton. Impressed with administration, teachers, and parent involvement.

Sweet Apple is a wonderful school. Everyone is so helpful and they are very focused on doing what is best for all the students. You are able to be in contact with the teachers and staff at all times and that gives me a great sense of security. So happy we moved to this area and able to attend Sweet Apple!

We moved just prior to our oldest son was headed to K. We used this website to help us determine where to look for houses. Based on the grades this school got and the word of mouth from others living in the area we settled on Sweet Apple. We have been very impressed, the school is well managed and has wonderful teachers. The administration is very attuned to the parents and genuinely cares about the families in the district. They very much work to educate each child to their ability.

Incredible school with great parent involvement. Love the use of technology across all subjects. The PTO funded iPad carts and Science Lab set this school apart from previous schools my children have attended.

Sweet Apple Elementary is an incredible school with dedicated staff and teachers. The school and campus is beautiful. Technology is important to Sweet Apple, and teachers are trained to teach with it!!

We are in our second week of Kindergarten here and I have to say we're off to a great start. I'm very thankful for the communication we get from the teacher, principal and PTO. We're glad to be here!
