I feel scores can and will increase once parental involvment and more community involvment is in this school.  It takes a village to educate our children.  Teachers cannot do it along.  Much needed programs for students in this school.  Usually with such a high percentage of free/reduced lunches more funds from state should be poured into this school.

Bolton Academy is such a wonderful secret!  Only in this part of Atlanta will you see such a diverse group of families, racially and socio-economically, coming together with the same purpose - to educate our children.  We are so fortunate to have such an opportunity here in Atlanta.  You can find every type of child at Bolton Academy.  We do not have as much parent involvement as desired, however, those parents who are involved are making major changes!  Our teachers are committed and our principal is professional and supportive.  The PTA officers are always available and answering emails from their account, boltonacademypta@gmail.com.  We are so fortunate to have this school in our neighborhood!

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
