Parent, Highly Do Not recommend this school if you care about your child’s mental health. The kids are mean and vicious my daughter 3rd accelerated teacher and no control and much attitude, that a lot of issues went straight to me due to being unable talk to her and the few times I spoke to her it has been fake and all problems not resolved this was established because same issues with kids would resurface and more problem with the same group of kids that was expressed to me that my kid was hanging around the mean girl crew. Last week of school was my last straw and at this point I was disgusted and outraged with her teacher. Student boy said some really mean stuff to my kid like my child will never be anything, she was dumb and he was she wish she was dead- the last part I didn’t tell her but the goal was to see was she even going to resolve the issue and get back with me. Sadly she didn’t I have not heard anything from this teacher since. This was hear say from another student to my daughter. I explained to the teacher what took place and the whole conversation was this is one of my top students this child would never say that - Deflecting - I felt my issue was less important because this was her top student and honestly she showed me that because I still have not heard anything. I trust her to handle an issue of this magnitude made me feel like my child was telling lies but teacher did state that she thought this issue was resolved so she knew there was an issue. Last week of school was when I heard about it an expressed it to the teacher she made it very clear she was going to take care the last week of school no call/ no feedback. Last, week of school was my child’s last day she never returned nor did the teacher call to find out if her student was okay but she was actively marking her absent so she was very aware she was not there. 06/19/2023 was the day I put a stop to it. same group of kids have been calling and once again harassing my child about he say she say. My child will not be attending this school next year and it sad because this was the only school in Rockdale she could attend - so my child will be homeschooled to preserve her mental health from the trauma, stress and anxiety she experienced from this school. A lot of the staff at the school was pleasant and nice that I have came across. This my experience base on one teacher and my reason for taking my child out that environment.

I must say this school system cares a lot about the future of these students. They challenge each student to be better and do better. They give the kids many opportunities to pull their grades up and offer multiple resources to correct these issues. The Career Academy has been a blessing to many students, especially my daughters. They both are in the health care programs and they are graduating a year earlier thanks to the dual enrollment program.

Where do I start. My family and I moved from out of state. My son was excited to attend a new school. Low and behold we were not expecting what has happened since the beginning of the school year. Needless to say, my experience with the teaching staff is not a pleasant one, I have emailed a few teachers not One teacher has communicated back or responded to my emails. How, Why is that. How are these teachers, teachers if they cannot properly communicate with parents. I just don't understand how some of these teachers (only saying that because I have only interacted with 7th grade teacher experience) have jobs teaching. My son would come home upset and tell me all kinds of stories, students antagonizing him, taking his stuff, he would exchange words for them to give it back, students hitting him, teachers overlooking it saying they don't care. Overall these teachers are very nasty, rude and disrespectful. Even one putting their hands on my son. I have been to the school at least 4 times since September and its just the end of October. There is one good thing I can say AP Johnson has been some help with dealing with some of the situations. At the end of the day, I do not send my son to school to have this kind of experience or be treated rudely or disrespectful. I could go on and on. But I would not recommend any parent to live in this County/attend any of the schools in this district, they have got to do better. End result, I've made the decision to just move in a way better county where both my kids get the support and education they desire. I am FED UP. I am super surprised the school is still in operation.
