Best high school in Cherokee County! I am so pleased with Mr. Ball. He is an outstanding principal…read more They have so many organizations that the kids can join which is amazing. They recently took over the old Chapman building and turned it into another portion of the school called Etowah East. The level of education in this school is truly remarkable. So happy to live in this area!

Honestly I feel like Etowah High School hasnt been a good high school since 2019 there have been…read moretoo many issues with sportsmanship teachers and the way some students treat other people school is supposed to be a place where you can learn feel comfortable and be treated with respect but that isnt always the experience everyone gets at Etowah One thing that really stands out is the lack of sportsmanship some students and athletes dont seem to know how to respect other teams or handle competition without being disrespectful it makes the school look bad and takes away from what sports are supposed to be about I also feel like the quality of teaching could be better students deserve teachers who care about them help them understand what theyre learning and actually want to see them succeed Another big problem is racism and the use of slurs some students make racist comments and use offensive language toward other people and thats not something anyone should have to put up with at school its frustrating that people can be made to feel uncomfortable or disrespected just because of who they are everyone deserves to feel safe and accepted and this kind of behavior needs to be taken seriously instead of ignored Overall I feel like Etowah has been falling short since 2019 between the poor sportsmanship concerns about teachers and the way some students act toward others theres a lot that needs to change a good school should be more than just a building where people go to class it should be a place where students feel supported teachers care and people treat each other with basic respect Etowah needs to do better at creating that kind of environment for everyone

I got to school here, and I have mixed feelings about this place. 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.

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. ​

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.

Just because you're a step parent you shouldn't be placed on the back burner sometimes the step parents are the ones carrying the load and doing all the school stuff because the bio parent is too busy working etc... so more communication is essential in my opinion. We will see how the rest of the year and years to come go.

Hey! I'm the first one to review this school! Heck YES!…read more I have been a Bascomb Mom for 10 years. Both of my boys have gone there. My youngest one is still there. The reason why I felt that I needed to review this school is for all of the out-of-town people looking to move into a community because of the schools. Look no further... you've found your new home! Coming from Florida in 2006, we moved to Woodstock pretty much blindly. My husband was relocated so there was really no choice. We looked at 40 homes in 2 days! We looked from Canton to Roswell. The house we have lived in for the past 10 years was the FIRST house that we toured! Funny huh??!! I did a TON of research on schools when I was still in Florida. Greatschools.net was a Godsend! When touring our home I was able to speak to the homeowner for a brief moment. I told her that we were thinking of sending our kids to the local private schools. Her exact words were "WHY??" She continued to tell me that Bascomb Elementary School was all and more. In the past 10 years I have met some of the most wonderful, caring teachers that I could hope for. If you have a special needs child they take great care in making sure that they have exactly what they need to succeed! It does take a bit for you to be "accepted" by the front office staff LOL. I had been going for years and felt that they were a bit put off any time that I needed assistance. What I later found was these women work as hard as the teachers! They deal with CRAZY parents (insert my name) on a constant basis. Among the great teachers they have the BEST NURSE IN THE WORLD! Nurse Jamie is an angel! My son actually likes to make trips to the clinic on a weekly basis (little flirt!). But for real, I have never seen a nurse take such care. When my older son had been in the clinic, she called me and gave me his temp, OXYGEN LEVEL, and so on! WHAT??? That's just insane! But so needed from us working moms that cant jump every time our kid has a splinter. Bascomb is a great school. My husband and I are so thankful that our kids have been able to go through a great Elementary School experience.
