these are some things that could be changed…read more First, there's the kids in the lunch line who go in front of you but do it sneakily. If you do send your kids here and the they're buying lunch, just know that the kids are going to try to go in-front of them even if you try to go back in front. And the lunch room is pretty loud, even though our grade was told to not be very loud, especially in a cafeteria. Second, the kids here say some bad words that they shouldn't say. They sometimes talk about inappropriate things too, but I don't see it happening around the teachers so I could see how that hasn't been fixed. Third, the lunch menu coordinators could maybe keep in mind that some people don't eat pork/cheese/tomatoes or are allergic, and they have a low spice tolerance. There was a day when there was spicy chicken and a sandwich that had the three ingredients I said above, and I couldn't really eat anything that day because of that. Fourth, some of the bus stuff could be improved too. Someone on my bus was eating some food and we couldn't use our phones. It also seemed like everyone wanted to be in their reputation era and not care about what anyone else cared about because this has happened for almost two weeks now. I would also like to say that this school has amazing teachers who try their hardest and are fun. They are super cool and I don't blame them but I also don't blame the kids because school is to learn, even for some people who have been here for 2+ years. There are definitely some things that could be improved though. Thank you for reading! I hope this helped you consider sending your child to this school. These are just things to look out for when/ if you send your child to this school.

I know the place can become dirty from games on Friday night but sometimes my son goes to train on a Monday or Tuesday and it looks as if it was right after the game. Now I can't help it that much but maybe some staff to clean up would help. Overall good place to train and good school but just a bit dirty.

I went to this school, and I can safely say this place was awful. The teachers have no respect for…read morethe students, not even the quiet kids who patently do their work. The school lies to the kids and says stuff like "you must have at minimum 7 AP classes to graduate"​ when that is frankly bullshit, and multiple of the teachers ignore students with IEP's. A math teacher at this school who I will call "Mrs. Brunch"​ took me into the hallway every single day, sophomore year, to demand I apologize to her for no reason and scream I'm wasting class time. She sent my mother 4 emails when I had the hiccups in her class stating "i was purposly disruptive" and demanded I get my meds changed becuse "they were causing my hiccups." She also reported me to the office more times when I could count. The only reason I finished that class with an A is becuse she couldn't fail me without proof, and I did all my work. The chorus teacher verbally abuses kids to tears, the band directors make the band kids stand in the sun till they PASS OUT, and racism runs rampant among teachers and students. I can't tell you if the other schools in the area are better, but the one good thing I can say about this place is that there isn't much open and outward bullying, and most students respect one another. If you ask any student at this school, they will either say they hate this place or they will lie out of fear. ​

The education Mr Barrera provides to his students is comparable to the education I received in an International Private school, he brought history to life right from his world literature class and changed our minds in the most positive ways with open ended class discussions about worldly issues, allowing students from different backgrounds to share their thoughts and ideas in a safe space for us to create a better common understanding of each other. It is teachers like him in Georgia who will positively change and enlighten future generations of adults to come. He teaches his students patience, respect, compassion of others, and understanding by treating them with such. He saw every student as an individual with a future and will do whatever he can to help his students get there, rather it's help with your college essays, write a college recommendation letter, or just be the one person who believes in you when nobody else does.

Someone I used to know was bullied lots, and parents had to call administrators over and over, and they would never do anything, even though they said they would "take care of it." They could use some more cleaning, I got terribly sick almost every month due to their lack of cleaning. Often saw cockroaches crawling behind the bathrooms signs, and there would be cockroaches crawling all over the walls. Teachers were Ok. Bathrooms were pretty trashed, like they hadn't been cleaned in years. Clubs were fun. In conclusion, I wish I would've left sooner Sorry if this seems harsh, but it's my honest review.

Most of the staff is EXTREMELY…read moreamazing, especially the science department, the librarian (Mrs. Rubin), the fine arts teachers, the lunch ladies (except from one that is rude to her coworkers), and a few of the math teachers. Some of the staff, however is not that good. The Literature department teachers for the most part are extremely rude, and they don't seem to care about if you learn anything as long as you pass the class. One in particular is obviously not suited to be a high school teacher at all. She would fit much better in a middle school, where she worked 2 years ago. One of the science teachers, whom I myself have not personally had as a teacher, is known for being a terrible teacher that doesn't know how to teach to where the students can understand the process. She is an on level Chemistry teacher. In all honesty with the way she teaches, students would be better off in honors chemistry or earth science. The coaches are mostly rude and pick favorites, and ignore and mistreat everyone else, even if they are doing everything they can to respect them. The school cares too much about their sports teams. So much of the funding has to go into them for the equipment and courts they have. The sports teams are terrible, and I know that without paying any attention to sports in general. The science department is under appreciated and under funded for what they put out. The electives are also under funded and under appreciated, especially the fine arts department. The kids at the school aren't great over all, but there are far worse nearby. The administration is amazing. They keep things under control. They are very LGBTQ+ accepting. They even allow a transgender man use the boys bathroom without much of an ordeal at all from what I've heard. A few teachers and quite a few coaches aren't as accepting as pretty much everyone else, even the student body.
