I am privileged to work as an employee at Sixes, and I am also a former parent times four. There is no greater elementary school in Cherokee County. (I have worked at several.) The safety and physical well-being of each student is as equally important as their academic success. School operations run at an optimal due to the diligence of the administration. I am responsible for car-riders, and I have been told by the police officer that frequent all the schools, we have the most proficient system of all the schools in getting children back to parents cars in the afternoons. The teachers are phenomenal with hearts as big as Texas. They bring their gifts and talents of teaching to the classroom and it is evident their calling to teach. Sixes is a school that reflects the public school system doing it right.

Sixes in an amazing school. The teachers, staff, PTA, and administration truly have the students best interests at heart. It is unfortunate that anyone can hide behind a screen name and post things that arent true. If you ask people that are part of the Sixes family (staff, parents, and students) they can attest to car pool not taking 20-30 minutes in the morning, the principal does not walk around with her cell phone posting on social media (this claim was the most ridiculous), and the building is secure.

I went there and loved it. The teachers there are pretty nice. And I enjoyed going to elementary school here.

I moved here two years ago and could not be happier with the education my boys have been provided with at Sixes. Their teachers took them from struggling learners to self confident, life long learners who believe in themselves. Every person shows an interest in all of the children from special educators to gifted teachers to the custodial staff and administration. My children love going to school because they are in an environment where they feel safe, loved, and nurtured. I have witnessed the amount of differentiation that goes on to meet the needs of every child, the focus on the development of the whole child, and the amount of technology used to prepare students for the 21st century, and the sense of a family atmosphere that is created at Sixes. Mrs. Crews and Mr. Gunter go above and beyond to develop relationships with each student and always put the needs of children ahead of everything else. I am beyond thrilled that my children go to such a wonderful school!

The current principal at Sixes shows zero interest for wanting to be there. Every time I see her at school functions or during school, in the halls, she is ALWAYS on her phone...either texting, talking or on FaceBook (yes, I was standing right beside her as she chatted away with her family & friends about pictures she posted). She bragged about her InstaGram account until a parent complained about her posting public photos of their children without the parents permission!The drop off in the morning definitely needs improvement, to say the least.I typically wait 20 to 30 minutes in the car line just to drop off my son. There is usually a police car parked on Ridge Road in the morning but he never gets out of his car to direct traffic.Since they opened up the front parking lot, all the teachers park in the front & fill the parking area. So if you need to go into the school for any reason, you have to park in the back or next door at the church. What school or business lets the employees use the customer or parent parking area???Having the front door locked in the morning seems slightly pointless considering the side doors to the ASP, the cafeteria & the kitchen are ALWAYS unlocked....check it out!The school gives the parents a false sense of security on the subject of bullying. There is no such thing as 0 Bully Policy in this school.In my sons class, a child was being bullied by another child daily.The teacher did nothing. The parent spoke to the principal who did nothing. She assured her It wont happen again. It did, the very next day.The bully children get no punishment or suspension because the principal doesnt want to show a suspension on her records.Seems a lot of problems would be diminished by firing Ms Crews.She should not be working with children.

Great teachers who will always treat you with respect.
