Very positive experience! The teachers and other staff members are friendly and really love and care about our children. My daughter has really blossomed into a great reader.

My children have been attending this school system since 1993, and I highly recommend the Shiloh school cluster to anyone in the Gwinnett county school district.

I have had a great experience here for my children. My daughter enjoys going here. When I come into the school, I feel welcomed. They are trying to make it a positive environment.

Our experience with Shiloh has been great so far. My child's Kindergarten teacher (Dr. Elliott), keeps us informed with an interactive app that shows us classroom pictures and gives daily reports about his behavior and academic progress. Her enthusiasm makes us believe that she is very interested in seeing him succeed. The administration is proactive, and addressed all of our concerns quickly. I've been rigorously recruited to join as many parent organizations as possible and donate my time and resources to help my child have the best school experience possible. I'm already looking forward to my 2 year old coming to Shiloh..... Go, Generals!!

Our overall experience last year was not good. Our teacher was mostly unavailable. Parent envolvement was at an all time low if any at all, and quite frankly, sad. Our teacher was not nurturing in any way, she made no attempt to get to know or understand the kids, she even told me at the end of the year that her job was merely a stepping stone for her to get where she wanted to go and would not be returning. We were never able to connect with other parents because there was no available classroom volunteering times or room parent which was also sad. Good thing my child enjoys school and does not know any better. It it was not the typical school experience you would hope your child would have. We are hoping things will turn around this year.

I am very impressed with the administration and teachers at this school. They go above and beyond to make sure each child has the resources needed to excel. The principal really sets the example from the top and his teachers respect that. My kids love learning here.

This is the best school my children have been in. I recently moved from South Cobb District. Those schools are set up like prison camps, and no teacher parent communication at all. Teachers dont return calls, they also are a bad influence on my children. Teachers there sing secular songs and play them to the students. School is about learning and respect of diversity. I am blessed to have been in the Shiloh School district.

My son attended K last year, he seemed to enjoy it. Now he is in 1st grade and I am okay with him going back. I really think that the school is okay, the teachers seem okay. I did not feel that the kinder teacher fully matched my son, she was "on the fence" about him going to 1st even though he can do work beyond 1st grade level. He was also picked on by a 6 year old in his class, my son complained a lot but the teacher never said anything. He is only 5- about to be 6 now. I really did not like how they did not go on a field trip last year. It shows how budget cuts have effected the enrichment of students. The school is clean and most of the teachers that I meet seem very nice. I just wish I would have done more research on the BS "cluster" rules and chose to buy a house in a nicer area or stayed in NY.

I recently moved from Dekalb County to Gwinnett, and I see a dramatic difference. I like the fact that on top of my son being in the gifted program, they also placed him is accelerated classes to challenge him. Every teacher I have emailed have responded quickly. I also like the fact that the kids are allowed to be kids without every little incident being so serious. Another good point is how they are teaching reading and vocabulary to the students, it makes more sense than what I've experienced in Dekalb County. Another great point is I love love the Parent Portal, it is easy to navigate and shows concerned parents everything they need to know. Lastly the staff is amazing, super friendly and they make you feel like family. I would recommend Shiloh elementary to any new comers. I only have good points.

My son has been at Shiloh for 2 years now. When we first came it was somewhat diverse, the teacThers were excellent, Principal Scneik (I'm sure the spelling is wrong!) was very welcoming and excellent with the kids and faculty, and PTA was very good as well. However, now in 2012-2013, a lot has changed. The population isn't as diverse, the new principal (MR. Trippany) is not very welcoming toward parental involvement and he does not encourage the faculty to be welcoming, and PTA is unorganized. I still think that the teachers are excellent; however, it appears that they have to deal with students of behavior disorders more regularly now. I don't know if these kids came from DeKalb's school system or where, but it seems like they came in like rain. Every child has a right to a good education, but I have an issue when behavior disorders affect the education of other kids in the classroom. There are teachers (inter-related) trained for dealing with such kids; therefore, I don't think that these children should be mixed in general education. Anyway, this school needs improvement starting with leadership! If leadership improves, parental involvement will improve and PTA will improve.

I agree with the previous post. We have been in the cluster for 5 years coming from the Brookwood Cluster and we love Shiloh. The school is diverse though it is predominately black. I have heard of issues in the Brookwood cluster about homosexual problems, it is just kids being kids. It is in every school. This cluster is warm, caring and have excellent teachers and involved parents! My 3 children are excelling in both the elementary school and middle school.

This school is great if you're originally from GA, since GA does not offer the best education. The teachers are nice, and some care, but half of them do not. We're from up north where the education is far more intense than the education here. My children have attended this school for 2 yrs and never taken field trips outside the school. That's right we pay for field trips inside the school! Overall it is an ok school and they're very organized collectively but a lot of their teachers are not there for the right reasons. It is simply a job to them...teaching is not for everyone and it takes a special individual to care about another child's future or potential. If you plan on sending your kids to this school just assure that you do not send them to Shiloh Middle or Shiloh High-homosexuality very prevalent.

We have a principal and a staff full of teachers and administrators that really care about our kids. Thanks!
