I have had 2 Sons to attend and Graduate from this school. They/I have not had any major problems with this school.
11/15/2024
If I could describe my memories and experiences at my high school One word I would say is "bittersweet." My teachers have greatly helped me with being college ready. Tutorial has always been held if i needed it. The admin and Security at Southwest Dekalb is phenomenal as well. The teachers at my school takes pride in helping the students academically.

To give the students a better lunch. Hot lunches like have for Chamblee, Dunwoody, etc... You should be able to bring in other food that you bring to school. Have more microwaves to heat your food. You have some great teachers. The band needs more equipment for the number of members it has. Hire more security officers for the school.

My child attended this school for an extremely short period of time before I made the decision to remove her. The school lacks structure, staff professionalism, discipline and effective leadership.

I have two daughters at this school and the changes over the past few years have been for the better. The teachers actually teach and realize success isn't based on workload but quality teaching.
8/7/2016
We love this school. Our son was on a hardship transfer to SWD last year. The staff are great. We didn't have to worry about the safety of our child and we knew the expectations of the teachers. We fought tooth and nail to keep our child here.
