Vickery Mill Elementary School

"Our youngest attends VME in the 3rd grade. We moved to the Roswell area two years ago and went from private catholic school to this one. The transition was great. New schools take a while to develop their rhythm but this one is off to a great start with a fantastic administration, great teachers and a very inclusive and energetic PTA. Very happy we landed in the VME district!"

"We've been very happy with VME the past two years. The building is nearly brand new- it's light, bright, clean and very inviting. My kids have been blessed with outstanding teachers who care deeply about their students. The school is diverse in every way and the staff is very attuned to proving customized learning for each and every student. My kids are always excited to go to school and eager to tell us about what they're learning. This is also a school that you can tell focuses on making sure students and their families feel welcome. If you are volunteering the principal will stop and thank you for being there. The dads arrive early once a week to greet the students getting off of the buses and coming through carpool and you'll see many parents and relatives volunteering and visiting their students at lunch. Carmen at the front desk is delightful and seems to know just about all the families by name. The cafeteria manager as well knows each student's name and makes a point to connect with them as they come through her line. It's a small school and from what I've seen the kids reap the rewards of having such a close knit group. As you would expect with a new school, certain school traditions and communication procedures are still being formalized but it doesn't interfere with the heart and hard work being put in to educating the students."

"My daughter attends the fourth grade here and we absolutely love her teacher. She takes the time to really help the kids stay on track, as my daughter had some math troubles at her last school on Roswell but was essentially left behind and confused. As far as the staff I can tell they really care about the students and make it a point to make the kids feel as such. I love that this school isn’t overcrowded and disorganized, the teachers seem to be relaxed and calm which of course helps them to give back to our kids. I highly recommend this school if you’re in the area!"

"I've been heavily involved in the school from day 1 in 2016. It is diverse culturally as well as socioeconomically. It's like a mini-representation of our world, and we love that for our children. Every child's educational needs are being met where they are, then they are being challenged at whatever level that is and progressing. The culture of the school is still developing, but it coming together nicely and will just take some time."

"Great new school, excellent administration, and teaching staff."
