I’ve had several children attend this school and the elementary school (across the road). Both are riddled with poor quality teaching staff. The BOE is no better when addressing any concerns. Giles is a small town, where most that went to these schools stayed local. Everyone knows everyone. The 7-12 is headed by a Coach, that doesn’t appear to have much control of anything. His wife is a teacher that (“shock”) repetitively receives “teacher of the year”. The SRO is a good man, but he has his job cut out as staff and faculty work against his efforts by causing infractions to either school safety/policy or common sense, when concerning security.Are all the teaching staff at the HS or Elementary school bad? No, but the the good ones don’t outweigh the many negative aspects of this school system.Large donations to the school or football team are greatly accepted and will grant your son or daughter “super student/ athlete” status, and they will all be warmly accepted and treated with great honor.

We moved from North Madison County on Alabama from a school with terrible discipline and horrible management to Minor Hill School. We have been so pleased with our child’s experience. Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable, the office staff is beyond welcoming, and we are impressed with the administration.
