The Avondale Plan in Carroll Green by Smith Douglas Homes
Harvest, AL 35749

This place is very tidy and clean. The only problem i have is how the teachers only threaten you with detention when you mess up. And this is where i met my beautiful, Perfect, and lovable girlfriend because of this place. The bullying is a problem though.

As a current student at this school, I feel unsafe, like walking through a prison, metal detectors that don't do anything, as people still sneak in blades and vapes, or pens, the random k9 searches don't do anything either, and we have been in lockdown mode 2 times already this year, thankfully both from medical accidents, but I am scared, the food isn't sustaining, its stale cold pizza, wet chicken sandwiches because they haven't been defrosted, soggy pastas, so on, they don't give us breakfast if we miss it because the buses are too slow unloading, as they are overstuffed with kids and they only release two at a time, I've been jumped at with a blade once because the metal detectors didn't pick it up, almost every bathroom stall door in the girls room are broken and have been since my sophomore year, roaches dead everywhere, rats in the gym bleachers, this isn't a concerned parent, or an admin of the school posting fake 5/5 stars, this is coming from a student, a child in this school, that they don't care for in the slightest, and I plan on dropping out because I don't want this school to give me my diploma, I want out of here as soon as I can legally. not to mention, the staff act all buddy buddy with the students who cause problems, so they get away with bullying and such, yet hate the bullied kids, favoritism is unmatched here.

All 3 of my kids have gone through Sparkman Middle. In recent years, the administration has changed and I can’t tell you how great it has been for the school overall! It has been a great experience for my kids.
