Malcom Bridge Elementary is a predominately white (I'm white) affluent school that suffers terribly with a "we're so perfect" smug attitude that they'll support subpar teaching and are far from doing anything spectacular like they claim. The only reason why they score remotely well is because you have a higher income family base that are super involved with their kids, and because this student base is also compliant and willing to suffer these unengaging, ineffectual methods that these teachers practice. If you voice your concern, your efforts will be useless because, as far as they're concerned, they're doing everything right. No diversity, no administrative support for parent concerns, subpar teaching, a disgusting emphasis on the families that pour money into the school (inherently dividing the school between the have and have-nots), every Karen you could possibly imagine along with the terrible kids they raise, and a lack for truly caring about kids...NO, I cannot say I recommend this school. Oconee Schools, you're not excellent. Most (excluding the karens/kens) of the parents that send their kids here are. Not you. Please stop riding the coattails of your white privilege and actually do something great.

I'm an 8th grader here currently. The teachers are mostly nice, a few bad apples though. The main problem at this school is the bullying. Kids who aren't wealthy, athletic, or straight are relentlessly bullied by most popular kids, and the administration does nothing to help. Work is piled onto students relentlessly, Students are treated more as cogs in a machine than people, and empathy is severely lacking. so glad to be out of here next year.

i’ve grew up in oconee county schools my entire life. and if you’re thinking of sending your kid here and they’re somewhat different then the average high schooler; don’t. the kids here are so horrible to the other students especially if you’re different, and it’s because all of them were raised to think they are the greatest of all time. some of the students are genuinely so kind and so caring but majority will do everything in their power to make you feel like you are less then them. just saying, this school is NOT the place for students who are “different “. And the teachers are okay, i have had a few teachers in my academic career at NOHS and they’re great. but most of them are so unfair. they pick favorites and they treat you like you are nothing because they have authority over you. they don’t care ab you’re actual well being unless it benefits them. the counselors are all super kind tho so i have to give NOHS that, because they rlly do care about everyone and want everyone to pass. however, the administration also picks sides and especially if you are a popular student who can lie. i really am just rambling at this point, but i’m so serious. DO NOT send your kids here if they look “different “ then a average high schooler!
