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.

Students Suck. Teachers always ask for help from me because I "worked for a long time" they don't know how to do their jobs. Bathrooms always uncleaned and unable to use for students. A rat came out the roof of my classroom and went on top of my students.

There's a lot I would like to see change. The food is okay but sometimes some kids go home hungry or eat snacks. Some challenges I faced were falling what the other people did. I eventually made my own lane and did stuff on my own. Now that I'm graduating I can say I've made good memories at the school. It just needs improvement.

Charles McCant should be fired and Kelvin Griffin should publicly address how he is resolving the sexist low quality education he allows. Students in Georgia deserve better than what Lovejoy wants to provide them.

A male teacher at this school has stated to his students that women should not be educated, and then attempted to foment the male students in the classroom to agree with him, even though some of them were obviously uncomfortable and disagreed.
