Top Rated 15 Schools in Hinesville, GA - A Guide for Parents and Students

Kenyatta Roebuck I am absolutely thrilled with the progress my son has made during his time at Lucas Music Academy! His growth in piano has been incredible, and its all thanks to the compassionate and patient guidance of his instructor. From the very first lesson, it was clear that the teacher truly cares about his development, taking the time to explain things clearly and ensuring he feels confident with each new skill. Not only has the instruction been top-notch, but the entire Lucas Music Academy family has been so welcoming and kind. We have felt truly supported throughout this journey. The recital was beautifully organized and such a wonderful opportunity for my son to showcase all he has learned. We are excited to continue our lessons at Lucas Music Academy and cant wait to see how much my son will grow as a pianist. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a nurturing and professional music education experience!

Heather My daughter has attended Lucas Music Academy since Fall of 2024. She had been playing the violin for about a year and decided to start playing the piano as well. It’s been 8 months and I have seen so much growth in her talent and her passion for music. We’ve really enjoyed the openness in communication. They send you updates on your child’s progress focusing both on what they are excelling in and what they can continue to improve on. They are also willing to be flexible when needed to help cut down on missed lessons when life gets busy. The teachers are thoughtful, knowledgeable, and help foster a love for music. We are so grateful for them all!

Francesca T I found this school on TikTok and was scared it was all a scam ,I am so happy to say it was not I am so pleased ,I can’t believe I really got my CDl they kept there word on everything they said . Tami Willis was awesome. Everyone at the driving rang in Miami was so helpful and knowledgeable they really made you feel like family . I learnt a lot in a short time . I really have a CDL and it has been a month and I recently decided to add hazmat I emailed Tami and was all smooth sailing . I give this school and program 100000 Stars . Thank you so much too everyone I met along the way .

Kenney Davie This was a very great and informative class. Had a great instructor with great knowledge over the information given. The staff was very courteous and was always willing the go out their way to insure all students needs were met. If you are looking to start a career in truck driving this is the place you want to be.

Taton McNickle Great Instructor and Class management, any information need is and was provided. The first week of class is very repetitive; making the Class A permit test very easy to pass. The following week is very informative, and necessary for when you finally pick one of the many companies that want you to work for them. The PowerPoints though they are few are far between, may have great information but they are a little slow paced; could be taught better if the instructor could teach and instruct they way they like best. Other then that it’s a great program and opens a lot of opportunities, I do recommend this course and all the employees.

Kayla Hristopoulos If I could put zero stars I would. My husband is active duty and we went in there one day to speak about his options. They were extremely unprofessional and rude. The "admissions office" which consisted of only 1 woman was so nasty to me as I told her my concerns and hopes for my husband to go to school she completely ignored me and would only address my husband, even though Ive been to college and he hasnt and I know what is the best for him she continued to not listen and confuse him with everything she said. We then left to speak to financial aid and we waited for 20 minutes before we were seen by a woman who just starred at us with a blank face and proceeded to repeat herself about "how the army education center would help him more," why bother having a financial aid office if no one knows anything!! It may be obvious that my husband decided not to enroll there due to their lack of professionalism and guidance. Ive heard many horror stories with this school, absolutely nothing good. Good luck if you do go.

Kristina Beas I applied to this school in late June for fall semester. My application wasnt getting processed, my transcripts were sent but STC never showed them as received. Ive left so many messages and made phone call after phone call and cant reach anyone. If I could give zero stars I would. Dont waste your time here.

Glyn Goldwire WOW, Savannah Tech CDL training was the best training I have experienced in over 20 years in the military. The trainers have over 70 years and hundreds of hours behind the wheels is professional drivers. I highly recommend this school if you are leaving the military. COL(R)

Brandi Petroulis Awsome my oldest go to the pre-K and it’s really nice and my twins are going next year

katrina gonzales I absolutely love this school. My toddler loves this school and his teachers and classmates. It breaks my heart he just started school in October and got used to learning, interacting with other kids and learning a routine, and now this virus has taken the remainder of his experience there. He and the other new students will not get to finish the school year with familiar faces. He doesnt understand that he wont get to play and learn with them again. He thinks he is going back to the same place, to the same friends and teachers :( . I wish he could continue here because ms gill and ms nelson were the very best! The school and classes are clean, the activities and adventures they had as a whole were fun and exciting. I will not forget this school. I will miss going to pick my son up from there. There are a few things they could change but they are a great great school.

Kandee Pink I love the school. My daughter is a little advanced and always had been. Because of this they push her farther which I definitely appreciate. Ms.Mckee & Ms.Burgos classroom are amazing.They are great teachers.

Kenya de la Cruz My son went here for about a year and half before leaving to start pre-K. The staff was great! I got reports everyday on what he ate and what times he ate. The times they changed his diaper and any incidents that took place. There was a caregiver who started working there who wasnt very good. She wouldnt change the babies like she was suppose to, but the Daycare Center quickly got rid of her for that and everything was good again. I would recommend this place

Nathaniel Harvey This daycare is very unorganized when it comes to scheduling early bird drop offs. This is a military town yet they have a separate fee for drop off earlier than 7 am which interfere with 0630 formations for Soldiers. They put you on a separate waiting list which is poorly managed when your originally requested drop off at 0600. They make you wait to be accepted into their daycare school plus wait to be accepted into their early bird list when YOU have to personally tell them again even though you wrote the original drop off time requests on the first application. Due to their lack of organization and lack of employees that are available before 0700, Soldiers have to miss formation in order to drop off their kid(s). Additionally, their is a early bird drop off fee of 10 extra dollars which isnt a big issue, however they dont accept direct debit payments.. Their payment system is absolutely prehistoric. You must pay them weekly and only by the swipe of the debit card or cash. No auto payments or online payments at this place. This is a big inconvenience the busy parent on Fridays then they accept payments. Most parents want to come get their kids and go, not wait in line to pay. Your system needs to be updated.

Tiara Bell After 2 weeks of my 3mo old being at the center she caught scabies and a staph infection... meaning this is a very unsanitary place. I sat at home a whole month helping her get better. And on top of that their policy is the child has to be out 4 days or more on doctors notice to get a refund for that week, April 2nd I paid the 110$ for the week and she went that day, April 3rd is when I took her to the doctor finding out she had scabies, I sent her doctors note the same day ordering her out for the week. The following week she went back to the doctor and had to be out that week also, I then put in her 2 weeks notice, she was back and forth to the doctor from April 3-13 (the note they received). Every week I called asking to speak with the director about payment matters, she was always "unavailable" I was told she would call me, never called. So time went on. I finally called today may 2nd about my refund, I was told i could not get it because my child was disenrolled, which was the assistant directors idea. Which leads me to realize Ive been getting the run around for 3 weeks just so I could not get a refund even tho she was out on doctors orders. The receptionist Ashley was very rude about the matter when I tried asking why and hung up on me. Just be careful where you send your children and the people they are around. This place sucks.

Jasmia Kirby Im grateful for Mrs. Carolyn. She encouraged me and help teach me, preparing me for a career that i didnt Know id have the confidence to do. She was a pleasure to learn from. She was full of knowledge and even now that Im finished with CCMA course, she reassured me that she was only a call away. Thanks Mrs. Carolyn Im forever grateful.

Michelle Kelley Mrs. Carolyn Walker was the best and sweetest instructor. She is very detailed and had so much patience with me. Definitely would recommend this training center for those who would like to take it to the next level.

Jovanda Garner I took her class a few years ago. At first I believed she was a nice lady but she completely ripped me and my classmates off. She took our money and We never received our certifications after we did our final exams and she stopped answering any of our calls. I never knew what happened to her until now. I would not recommend this place because of how we were treated and how someone could do this to us.

Chris Eastridge I have children in elementary school, middle and high school. Both bus routes are late everyday. My high school student been extremely late to school everyday this year because of the bus While that don’t count it towards his attendance, it is unfair to take his education opportunities away. My middle school student has been late almost everyday as well. Sometimes, they will wait up to 2 hours after the scheduled route time for the bus to show up. There has been at least a handful of times that the bus doesn’t even show up to the stops. This route has numerous kids with the same complaint. Most of the time, especially in the evening they won’t answer the phone and if they do they never follow up, which is the only response they ever offer. My elementary kid, 7 years old, was left on the bus one evening last week. We were beginning to grow concerned because it was well over the time he was due home when our 9 th grade son calls to tell us he found our 2nd grader crying in the seat because he was scared and didn’t understand why he didn’t get dropped off. Upon talking to the transportation department and the bus driver they decided that it wasn’t a big deal and laughed it off saying, “he must have fallen asleep and forgot to get off!” This is absolutely ridiculous.

Amybeth Williams Horrible. Every other day bus is late picking up or bringing home. One day my child didnt get to school until 845-9. And then one time he didnt get home until 545. A bus driver dropped him off 3 miles from our hone and told him it was ok for him to walk. That driver still had his job after that. Its absolutely horrible.

Ashleigh Sade I recently just called up there the first person I spoke with was VERY cheerful and sweet omg I wish I got her name I appreciate you for being so sweet, SHE is the only reason this review gets a star, I really wish google would invest in zero stars.... ANYWHO ROBIN MOBLEY (pronounced mah-bleh) or however you spell that lady name.... miss girl is so rude, she wants to go back and forth with me about the SYSTEM (AN AUTOMATED MACHINE) leaving messages and constantly calling I UNDERSTAND MOST PEOPLE DO NOT UPDATE THEIR PHONE NUMBER WHEN THEY GET A NEW NUMBER!!! so, Im doing my due diligence in REMOVING my number from the things the previous number owner had. when she answered the transfer, youd think she was picking up her personal phone for one, like babe wheres the phone etiquette??? so that was the first thing that had me a lil confused so I chalked it up to her having a rough start this morning because hey its the beginning of the school year I UNDERSTAND! then she began to make smart remarks and talk over me as if I was being rude to her, lady Im calling you from my job why would I be unprofessional AND ON TOP babe thats just not my style, ciao!! my mother taught me manners, but anyway idk what her attitude was about but ROBIN H03 COUNT YO DAYS !!!!

Angel Morales It wasnt that bad when I attended. I attended this school as a transfer from more horrible places in 2000. My two years here wasnt what I wanted, but I wouldnt take it back. I didnt get abused or none of that mess as previously reported, but then again I wasnt bad. So, yeah...I liked my teachers and the school. I just hated that they didnt give me a chance to prove myself. Thats all.

WeSley Hopkins i attended this school in 1992 and it was rough!! these kids belong in a unit!! not a school!!

Jerem Gily It was one the horrible place to be it was hell for 6 years straight I was there cause I was kick of public schools but my time I was there I was verbally abuse and physical abuse not only by the stuff custodians and students and staff I would never wish my worst enemy to go there wouldn’t even my kids there it just hell all around and no body to call out to

Nina Pesce Really happy my daughter was able to go to fumc! The teachers and the staff are amazing and she learned so much in the two years she went. Always felt safe, We loved it!

Jessica Rafetto Wonderful preschool! My kids attended 3 year old class, Pre-K and Kindergarten here. My kids loved it and learned so much. Staff are all so caring.

Lindsey Howard HORRIBLE daycare! The staff was mean to son, I know this because it was caught on camera!! Everyday I took my child to this establishment he would scream and cry as soon as we pulled up to the building. He would come home filthy everyday. We went on vacation for a week and we returned i went to go pick up my sons belongings, since i decided this was most defiantly not the right place for us, his milk cup was still full from the week before and had not been touched!! I would defiantly NOT recommend this daycare. I can not think of one nice thing to say about this poor excuse of a daycare!

Vanessa Brown This academy is an excellent resource for families in this locale with children with "special abilities". Each student receives one-on-one, personal/individualized instruction. Mrs. Whiteman and her assistant have great teaching skills/strategies and they are so loving, caring and patient with their students. My daughter enjoys going to this academy and is showing significant progress after only a couple of weeks of attendance.

Jamie Weaver Dennis is one heck of a pilot. I am a photographer with Dream Weaver Photos and I was hired to shoot a cover for Savannah Womens Journal - I needed to get the top of the Tybee Lighthouse. This was my first small plane flight and Dennis walked me through every step. I had to turn on the side to get the shot but Dennis made me feel comfortable, even though I had no clue what was going on, he told me what to expect- and I felt at ease in just a few moments. Its less expensive then you may think and these guys are amazing!
