Springdale Park Elementary School 803 Briarcliff Road Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30306

"Best school in Atlanta! We have 3 kids in SPARK and have had an excellent experience. The teachers and staff are wonderful. When we moved here our top priorities were a walkable neighborhood with good schools. We couldn't be happier with where we landed!"

"Springdale Park is truly a great learning environment. This is our 8th year in a row with a child at SPARK. Our two oldest children, both 'graduates' of SPARK, still say today that they wish they could go to SPARK all the way through 12th grade - it's their favorite school they've been to! We've had children at some of the most elite private schools in the city, and can truly say SPARK had been wonderful for all of our children. The teachers really care about the children's success. I can recommend it highly for anyone considering this school."

"Spark(Springdale Park Elementary's nickname) is one of the best schools. I go there, everybody is treated fairly and, the teachers are fun. I started going there their second year open and I've had a wonderful experience. I'm in 5th grade there and through the years, I've seen all the great teachers. When the teachers teach, they try to get you to remember the facts. Each and every one of them have their own way of teaching, from strict to dancing to just playing games. There are so many new activities each year. Two years ago, Spark started doing a program called Reading Bowl. Reading Bowl is not just fun but also a teaching tool. It helps students learn to remember facts from different books, team working skills, and to just relax and have fun for the extra studious kids. Sometimes the teachers do get off track, or get on their phones, but that's usually when there is an assessment, a family or friend problem, or when there is independent work. If they do that on purpose, they might just want you to figure it out yourselves. Overall, Spark is a great school that helps it's students to not only learn, but to like going there and feel safe."

"SPARK is an excellent school with wonderful facilities and one of the top principals in APS. This is our fourth year at SPARK and we have a 3rd and 1st grader this year. Our experience has been top notch so I have a tough time understanding some of the negative comments below. The PTO does an incredible amount of work and is a major reason the RESULTS at SPARK are impressive by any metric. If you are looking for a great public school then SPARK is for you."

"Springdale Park is an excellent elementary school with significant involvement from parents, community members and stakeholders. The teachers and staff care for and about the children and the Administration strives for excellence! The academic success of the school proves to be the best within it's district, Atlanta Public School and the state of Georgia. Springdale Park Elementary School also known as SPARK has also received national awards. SPARK is second to no other and provides a learning environment that has proven success for the past five years!"
