Sutton has made incredible strides towards excellence over the past few years. We are so proud to be a Sutton Cougar family. We believe it is so important to invest in your local neighborhood school, it benefits everyone. One of the elements that makes this school so special is the parent involvement in the school. It have built great Sutton community. This middle school is working it's way to be one of the top schools in Buckhead.

Our 4th Grader was assaulted and battered by another student at Sarah Smith Elementary leading to a diagnosed moderate concussion. Current administrators at the intermediate campus attempted to sweep it under the rug and deemed it a mutual fight. Unfortunately, we had to visit the doctor, have a meeting with the superintendent Mr. Douglas, contact the juvenile district attorney, visit downtown Atlanta, as well as submit an open records request. We have been so dissatisfied with the administration at Sarah Smith. We learned of other incidents involving other students. Parents have been coming forward. Unfortunately two weeks after the attack, our son was hit again at recess by another student. The bullying continued after the assault, and the administration only offered a (no contact order) after they learned about the concussion. The student who gave our son a concussion was put in proximity to our son two days after the attack. Sarah Smith administration is relaxed on bullying and physical violence. They will not suspend or expel a student for serious infractions. We have always been huge supporters of the school, but physical violence is occurring too often! there should be a NO tolerance policy for physical violence.

As parents of IB students who are also passionate about athletics, we were thrilled to have our kids attend and thrive at NAHS. This school offers the perfect balance of academic rigor and a thriving (growing) sports program, making it an ideal environment for well-rounded achievers and a central place to experience life's diversity of people and cultures.
