GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teachers here were very kind and loved kids and loved their job. What I would like to see change would be the disciplinary actions because kids could get away with many wrong things when I was there.

Currently I think that my school is alright. The Allatoona teachers are entertaining and help out their students; the ones they have and do not have.My favorite part of the school day is when i go to chorus. The teacher knows what he wants and how he wants it done, which makes the class efficient; and even thought it's only been six weeks of being a freshmen I love this school because of student success rates being high and I would like to be successful when I walk across the stage in three years.

This school is a terrible school. The lunch meals always have hair in them and the bathrooms are very smelly and dirty. What do the janitors do during the day? Play hide and seek? They are cockroaches everywhere and the teachers are very bad.
