Literally choose any other HS except this one the new principal picks favorites and doesn’t help anyone except for the kids she likes. Absolutely unprofessional how ridiculous they act and the stuff that they let go on there.

He was so excited about high school, then to be bullied his first year, this makes children drop out, especially when you have no help from teachers or principal. Muscogee county should be ashamed. we need better for our children.
