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.

As an alumni of this school, and sibling of current students, I see the school system going downhill with the support of safety, social services and quality of education. The students are not achieving what they are supposed to be learning on grade level. The support of educators has declined since my graduation year and i do not see the school system to be a place for the children, within the recent happenings of our city.

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.
