The school provides an excellent learning environment. The teachers and leaders are great! They really work hard to help all the students succeed.

Lots of favoritism and politics in the school. If your child is one of the big Valdosta families, you are guaranteed a spot in any club or sports team. The staff is disconnected from the kids and shows little interest in teaching/ coaching young athletes.

Terrible school!! This would have been my daughter's first year at this school(we moved here) and she would have been in the 8th grade....that is , if we wouldnt have withdrawn her after the first day! The chaos started at the so called "orientation"....or should we say students and parents running around in hallways. There was no formal orientation, like previous schools she had attended( where the orientation was scheduled in an auditorium and detailed info was given on drop off, pick up, what time school let in/out, dress code). Instead we found ourselves wondering around in a herd of people trying to find "our teachers". We finally located our "team leader" (Amanda Hiers) who was very rude, loud and aggressive. I was speaking with my daughter when she abruptly, patted her strongly on the shoulder and said, "look at me"..... now as I'm the parent talking to my daughter! One of the other teachers wasnt even there, one was new and said he didnt know alot, and the others I never could even find! Reluctantly, we still decided to give it a try. The first day of school, I dropped my daughter off and within 5 minutes, she calls me crying. She said, some hall monitor had yelled at her and sent her to the office for her clothes. What was she wearing you ask? Shorts that touched her fingertips, a tee shirt with sleeves and tennis shoes! Upon walking into the school to pick my daughter up, Im greeted by two ladies that are screaming for me to get in the crosswalk!.... Like Im a child! I walk in to the front office and say, "I'm here to pick up my daughter"? The old, rude lady says, " well, did you bring her clothes"? My response, no I just dropped her off and didnt even get to end of the street. I requested to speak with the principal but, was denied...saying he was busy! As i waited for my daughter to come from the back( holding prison cell, I guess) a counselor lady comes out and starts to try and justify why my daughter was humiliated for her clothes when we were not even informed of the dress code. I said,' how do you hold a child accountable for a dress code that has not even been given? Her response, " I understand what youre saying, we are going over the dress code today and tomorrow in class....maybe, we should have waited to send her home!!!!! Are you kidding me??? Still until this day, with my daughter being withdrawn, I still have not heard from the principal or received and apology! IF you have another option for a school, choose it!
