All those people who wrote bad reviews should think wisely before talking. I actually attended this school and personally, I loved it. Both of my parents were actively involved in the school without being in the PTA. Even when my grandmother came to visit from new york the school allowed her to volunteer.

Also, in the district spelling bee, our student, which was me, came in 2nd place. By the way, this was all in the first year Sawyer Road opened. Marietta School District is one of the best districts in the state, so get your facts straight before writing stupidity.

Its sad to say that a lot of our children don't get that kind of affection and reasurrance prior to being dropped off at school. The teachers take pride in their jobs and want to see each child grow to be mature and successful adults. If you are considering relocating or want your child to have the best education, Marietta City Schools is the way to go. Keep an open mind when reading reviews. The truth is you can't please everyone. Read less
