Sims Elementary School
4
This is a great school. My husband and I decided to move to the area about year and a half ago. Coming from a top-rated Georgia school system, we were skeptical about what SIMS had to offer. We have been pleasantly surprised at the professionalism, pride, and care the teachers have demonstrated. My children became very well acclimated to the school and their friendly surroundings quickly. They were welcomed. My husband and I frequently visit our children's classrooms, both announced and unannounced, and we always find the same thing, hard-working students and teachers. That speaks very highly of the teachers and the leadership of the school. Good job SIMS!
