Each time I was in contact with office staff, they were hostile, rude, and never willing to help. If they did look at you, it was up and down first. I loathed having to go in there just as much as they seemed to be there. Maybe it was just my two years experience but for that simple reason, we will not spend time/money at this particular school.

Downtown Elementary Magnet Academy is a hidden gem. All students are provided with unique engineering experiences starting in kindergarten. The curriculum and the engineering field opportunities are top notch.

This school has a major bullying problem rated the worst in Columbus GA in 2012-2013 school year (article in local newspaper ) Some of the Teaching staff needs major improvement or at east monitoring. Teacher of kindergaten wrongly reported a bad grade "I wasn't supposed to but too late to change " (they are only allowed 2 before child must leave the school ) then she did it again this was a kindergaten child doing homework every night. They really need to evaluate the bullying and teachers making "mistakes" that have changed a very young child's life. I would not send a child here .
