Canby Lane Elementary School
sandrad919: My son is now a 7th grader and went to Canby Lane from 1st to the 5th grade, and my daughter is there now in the 3rd grade. Both of my kids are in the gifted program and my son scored exceptionally well in the CRCT -- he exceeded expectations in all categories. I believe that this is due to the commitment that the teachers and staff have to the students.

We recently move to GA, I was skeptical about what school to register my first grader. But my neighbor recommended Canby Lane. Good choice. The staff and teachers are very nice and care about the students academic achievement. My son is very happy at this school.
