I've been to three other elementary schools in the metro area and Livsey is, by far, my favorite. It is a very close-knit, family oriented school where everyone knows each other. The academics are challenging and the teachers are nurturing yet firm. All of my children have excelled at Livsey!

Our daughter has had an excellent education at Livsey. We cannot imagine a better experience. The staff all know our daughter by name and provide a safe learning environment that allows her to grow to her potential. Livsey deserves the highest of ratings!

Livsey is a gem. From the principal to teachers to the support staff, everyone is extremely nice and involved with the students. There is a great concern for the students academic achievement. The PTO is also very involved in making this school an awesome place for the children to learn and grow. The after school program is also fantastic. There are special activities as well as time for homework and play. My daughter does not want to leave because she is having so much fun. I was somewhat nervous about putting my daughter in Dekalb County Schools and was pleasingly surprised.

Teachers do not communicate with parents, they barely know the students the teacher too student ratio is ridiculous.

We were lucky enough to make it into the PreK lottery at Livsey last year. We love Livsey! The parental involvement is fantastic, Dr. Wilson is a awesome principle, and the extracurricular offerings are great. Now my child is in kindergarten and we're excited to be back for another great year.

My daughter attended Livsey this year, but unfortnatley we had to move a few weeks ago. We hated that we had to leave this school. The teachers are so great and the parents are very involved. Its a small school with a big heart.

Both of my children have attended Livsey and I ABSOLUTELY love it! They both had a wonderful experience and received a solid foundation for learning. I can not say enough about the teachers...and one of my children is not the easiest. The are motivating, loving, and make learning fun. Livsey is also very welcoming to parents and there is a high parental involvement.

Fantastic school!!! It won the prestigious National Blue Ribbon award for its outstanding academic achievement. Students consistently meet and exceed requirements on standardized academic tests. Teachers are not only very qualified, but also truly passionate and caring. The school is smaller than many private schools, which creates a strong sense of community, and principal knows every child by name. Every child gets noticed, and every issue gets addressed. 100% of parents participate in PTA, and many volunteer at school, so there are a lot of extra activities, festivals, etc. This school is awesome, and our son is very happy here.
