Our son is in first grade and has been at King Springs since kindergarten and we couldn't be happier. We moved to this community for the purpose of putting our son in a diverse environment committed to providing our child with the best education a public school can offer. King Springs has met all of our expections and beyond. The staff and administration are dedicated to making this the best school in West Cobb and have achieved this by far. The PTA involvement is outstanding and we definitely feel a strong sense of community. Our son has excelled and looks forward to going to school every day and we look forward to our youngest starting kindergarted there next year. Close Quote

My daughter is in 2nd grade and has attended since Kindergarten. She has received personal attention that has helped her succeed. The school has many programs that address the needs of their students. I do not feel as if they are shoveling information at my child so that she can pass a test - I feel like she is being taught. I have been happy with the class size as well as the teacher placement. Close Quote
