South Cobb is the worst school!! I do not like it for nothing. The students are ghetto and the lunch is not that good. Half the teachers can't teach it's sad. I came from north cobb and north cobb is much better! They don't even have that much AP classes to take.

As a parent of three South Cobb graduates I can not believe anyone would call this school anything but disgraceful. Currently I have a senior and a sophomore who are being moved to another county to finish out High School. The graduation ceremony itself was a farce, both poorly planned and executed.

Instead of parading the faculty out in a musical fashion and having them take up a multitude of seating that should have been reserved for family; they should have been dispersed throughout the crowd to help with noise and seating. The graduates were not even visible by their family members and the audio was drowned out by rude audience members. The high point of SCHS is the ROTC program, Col Bradley and his staff. He will be remembered fondly by myself and my children. Read less

Okay, wow. Anyone on this website who claims that South Cobb is a 'great' school, you must be mistaking this school for something else.

The administration is very rude and unwilling to help with many problems because 'they have more important things to do'. I cannot believe whoever enrolls all of the people in this school but they must realize it is extremely over crowded. The teachers are also very rude and really do not care to help the student with any problems they have. I will only remember one teacher and thats coach jackson ( : . This school is rediculous.

I graduated from Schs a few years ago and still have great memories of the school. Although the counselor wasn't all that great, Dr. Rivera compensated for her shortcomings.

One thing I vividly remember about him is my graduation day and the smile he had for me once I walked across the stage and then as I meet him to receive my certificate, he told me how proud he was of me.
