Being nervous with a new 6th grader going into middle school... I was concerned about how much communication there would be with the teachers. My son was very lucky to have a great HR and SS teacher (Mr B) and the others on his team. Math teachers have been extremely helpful as this is the subject he struggles with. My son is also loving his band class and learning a lot from Mr Owens. Over all, very happy with the school... but most of all the teachers he has. This is what really makes the school. - Concerned and Involved Parent

Isn't the worst.I'm a former student and didn't have the worst time at East Coweta, but there are moments that raise my concern.There was a moment with Lanave, an assistant principal—we ran into each other as I headed to the front office + she asked me where I was headed to, and I, with my teacher's permission, told her that I was headed to the front office to get a checkout note for the day. The conversation should've been left at that—I figure she believed that I was ditching class, so she decided to follow me to the front office and acted like she thought I was lost. I get that she was only doing her job, but acting on the presumption that I was ditching and following me around like a douce was not the way to handle things—that situation left a sour taste in my mouth.

We live close to the school, it's in our district. It is NOT balanced. We have 2 kids in this school and are highly disappointed in their discipline program. The kids have more than 1 teacher, very different than what we are used to. When the students have issues between themselves, it doesn't translate. My child was put as a partner with a kid who has repeatedly bullied my child and though the teachers are nice - they are "done" with these issues. It's not the teachers job to "parent" the kids, but it's the parents sending their kids to school that need to parent their kids. The teachers are constantly disrupted, having to deal with piddly little social issues that the kids have to escalate to shouting matches and curse words. The parents send their sick kids to school... without a care! My other child has been "exposed 3 times" over the course of 4 weeks ... come on! Each time, I get the call. The quality of the school reflects in the students they have and as Mr. Brown is excellent dealing with and understanding children, they cannot control the "class" of student that attends their school. This will be our last year at Welch, as I'll be enrolling our children in a Charter or Private school next year. Bullying is happening in the higher grades, kids with poor upbringing are dragging this school down.
