Mt Zion Elementary School

I am new to Clayton County and to Georgia. Since the beginning of the school year I have experienced nothing but issues at this school. I am far from perfect but I know that they really need to re-evaluate some of these teachers. They do not communicate. I have sent numerous emails that have gone unanswered and I am sick of it. SO I sent it the Principal. Each week I get a different story as to when they are going to make my daughter's teacher accountable for what she does. The homework doesn't make any sense at all. It is almost like I feel my girls are behind but its not them its her. She has a nasty attitude and I am sick of it. Administration not doing anything about it. Mrs. Edmond does not talk to any of the parents. I have talked with several parents with the same issue however nothing has been done. This has been going on for two months now and still is unresolved. My other daughter is in Kindergarten and I have had nothing but ongoing issues with her teacher as well. NO COMMUNICATION. You email and she never emails back. I don't get it. The front staff answers the phone Yes. Not hello not Mt Zion Primary, but YES. Really I have never in my life experienced so much chaos! The only great thing about this school is that it is clean and Mrs. Pugh the Assistant Principal is very helpful. My next step is to get a superintendent I bet they will talk then!

The only good thing about this school is Ms Usry I swear she's amazing

Mt. Zion Elementary School, should close their doors to being a school. This Elementary School is a poor representation of what a school should be. I have never encountered a school that doesn't have structure. Horrfic is what I describe this school as being. Any given day you can walk in and see things that you would be amazed about. Kids are out of control, the staff is in a circle having a conversation or talking on their cellphones. The front office is a big mess with the staff hanging out. Secretary should have been retired a long time ago. She can be rude and has a short fuse. Most of the staff you seek help from are rude. Principal Harris and Assistant Principal Span doesn't appear to have this school under control. I feel they have become immune to our complaints as parents & grandparents. Points: Poor leadership, Rude staff, A school with no structure, Over crowded classrooms. Kids out of control, Older staff should be out or retired no patience with their over crowded classrooms of children. Poor Janitorial Service, Bathrooms are nasty, no soap or towels for kids to use, not even hand sanitizer being used, even tho you buy for the school. Cafeteria staff, some are rude and food is Awful...This has been the worse school year. I had to remove my grandson from this school...It was a bad dream for us. He use to cry every morning knowing he had to go and encounter the everyday stress he had to deal with, the kids and the teachers. He felt no love here. He complained of headaches everyday and gained a tremendous amount of weight due to the stress he encountered from being at this school. I felt he was treated different because he was biracial by the kids, his teachers and other staff members, (Black & Mexican) and an only kid. I will never put him in a school that doesn't have structure, better leadership and a Professional staff again. Possibly home schooling. Some public schools are not what they need to be, especially Mt. Zion Elementary School...

It is a terrible school. The staff in the office are so rude. The food is horrible. Once I got a hamburger the meat was still pink with plastic in side.I've been to this school from 3rd grade - 5th grade. The only nice teachers are Ms.Alferi,Ms.Cooper, and Ms.Jennings. I'm so glad I am going to middle school

First impressions are everything, and this school lacks it! The front office staff is rude, not professional and cannot provide information to any questions or concerns. I just relocated here from Florida and have been to the school three times trying to register my children. I pray this is not an indication of the school year and of the teachers. The principal should be aware that his/her front office staff represents them and their school. I would suggest a better front, or some training for those ladies in the front. Mrs. Clarington the counselor was very pleasant, warm, professional and helping. She got the job done.
