DeKalb Elementary School of the Arts 3131 Old Rockbridge Road, Avondale Estates, GA 30002

"I still at this school and this is school is something else they are very very strict they will yell at you for like literally unknown things I mean yeah this is a good school if you like have a good talent and stuff but just know they’re strict and if you are sensitive of teachers yelling at you go at your own risk."

"I like Ms.felando she is nice and never screams at people unlike other teachers scream for unknown reasons"

"The overall experience has been good. I feel like if you bring your talents to their arts programs, you are more favored than the others. They shouldn't be open to school choice to accept other children if they strictly focus on the arts programs. I feel like with any school, seasoned teachers need to get a grip. Yall know how kids are. You knew what you were getting into when you decided to be a teacher and even if it wasn't what you thought it would be, you had time to make your exit. I feel there is a lot of favoritism to parents and children. Overall I'd prefer my son here than the neighborhood middle schools of lithonia."

"I love this school! The bathrooms would run out of toilet paper and there were some ant problems, but I still enjoyed this school! The staff are caring and sweet, the food was always good, and seating was never a problem. I went here from kindergarten to 6th grade, I am now in 9th grade but this school felt like one of the best experiences I've had. Compared to how the old school was before the school moved, it's a major improvement. Love you all, even the staff who are no longer there! -Caitlin G. Reese "

"This school is not bad at all is really good but it’s just we have nothing to do. I would like to have sports and pep rally’s and I would really like to have a “middle school experience” but unfortunately this school does not have that. Even if your in the 6th or 7th grade this school still treats you like elementary. Also some of the kids hear are just rude and disrespectful even if you don’t do nothing to them. This is my first year here and I wish and a lot of times I wish I wasn’t at this school. I’m almost done. But sometimes this school is so unfair but that’s my experience with this school. I’m not putting this school a bad review but all I’m saying is that this school year has been iffy for me(it has been bad but ok at the same time)."
