This is a terrible school, it does not actually prioritize your student’s education, and they only want control. On top of that the dismissal and school parking lot is absolutely awful, students are constantly late getting to work and home simply because the school administrators do not know how to properly release students and allow the buses to cut in front of cars which is extremely dangerous. Madison County School System as a whole is one of the worst in Alabama and should be ashamed of themselves.

It's not that great. They don't clean the school as much as they should, and it is an absolute stinky school. The only good thing about it? Some of the teachers and staff and the rare few of nice students. If you can, please go to another school they care more about their rating then the students. They expect you to be there everyday even if you're sick and that isn't really that good because it gets other students sick. In this school year it got so bad before winter break that there was basically no one there and everyone had to stay in their class to not risk getting sick so we didn't learn anything and didn't even change classes that day.

I am quite shocked at the current low score (3/10) on Great Schools since it was a 9/10 when we first moved here in 2021. All three of my school-aged boys, all with IEPs, went or are there now, and we have had great experiences across the board. My older boys went from not being able to read at all when we got to Lynn Fanning in 1st grade to straight As within a year. They were well prepared for the intermediate school and are receiving gifted services now, and they usually still have straight As. The PTA is very involved in the school, and the teachers and administrators are all very responsive. I give them a 10/10.
