My experience at Stone Mountain high school has been interesting. I have had the standard high school classes and I've experienced normal high school activities.

My overall experience was rough from the lack of attention from teachers for their students to the blatant disrespect students dished out to teachers was unforgivable, and their parents should have been more involved. The sports team arent the best but has a few diamonds in the rough that shine bright and make it somewhere unimaginable in life.

I have been going to Stone Mountain High School for two years and the school academics have been at its worst. This school year they have added more teachers with better qualifications. The worst are the students that fight every other day if not week. The school doesn't enforce security the right way. The staff are sometimes careless and only cares if it effects their reputation or the schools'.
