I have been nothing but pleased with this school. From the principal, to the teachers and staff, to the janitorial team and bus drivers...everyone has a smile on the face and are happy to be there! They have made my sons transition this year seamless! We are blessed to be in this school!

Sweet, kind, enthusiastic and holds the kids accountable! My son likes all his teachers and feels that they are supporting him to do his best!

They have given an appropriate amount of homework and most of the time, it is well explained that I don't need to assist. They also teach your child to be self sufficient to check their google classroom!

Bonlee School is amazing! I am an 8th grader here at Bonlee, and have been here since Kindergarten. Our teachers are the best, they're all very kind and help us with all our problems. I can't wait to go to DC this year. The school has tons of fun trips, but still make them educational. The 7th graders go to Camp Rockfish/Donlee. Bonlee is a great school, with great staff and principle. If you're looking for a school in Chatham County, I would suggest Bonlee!

Our school has awesome principal who cares about student and employees safety and building character traits among students. Teachers and parents are active in PTA. Community based support with local businesses supporting fundraising.

My son went to this school for a short time- the teachers were rude and I don't think they really care about their job.
