The faculty is very nice and respectful, but the facilities, resources, and curriculum is seriously lacking. The academic standards the students are held to is almost comical, and teachers appear to be bored.

My best experience in this high school will definitely have to be the JROTC program. This is program is amazing and I was a member for 3 years. The worst part about attending this high school was definitely the faculty and staff. They are extremely rude and disrespectful.

I feel the cleanliness could be better, along with the teachers. I also wish there was more AP/Honors classes to help prepare me for college.

My child is bullied. The teachers don’t care. He given less attention because he has top grades. The teachers fail to engage and train him because they would have to give him accelerated work. His is not going back. He will be taking on-line classes next year.

I pulled my son out of the Elbert County school system because I was teaching him more in four hours than they were in eight. All they taught him were how to play video games and how to play a band instrument.
