The experience at Elbert County Comprehensive High School is like any other high school. Excited when your first get there and can't wait to leave as time flies. Friends were made. People got left behind. You have to fixed yourself personally to better yourself for the future.

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.
