I have been a student at Claxton High School since I was 6 months old. My mom is also a teacher in this school system. Claxton High School isn't a bad school but I do not believe it is rigorous enough for college preparation. I have always been held back due to others in the class not learning as quickly as me.

If you have any intention of your kids going to college, think seriously about another school. The study habits they teach barely get you past high school. Much less a university.
