I was one of the children who was allowed to be corporally punished. As far as I know, they still allow it both at this school and the state of Georgia. Do NOT allow your children to be punished at the hands of a stranger — or physically in any way, for that matter. It is traumatizing and can start the snowballing of your child's mental health. The rest of the world may have forgotten about what happened here in 2016, but I have not, and I never will.I also remember one of my teachers making fun of one of my classmates who, as far as I remember, was not neurotypical. She also seemed to be weirded out by me as a child because of how I did not want to go outside or play with my classmates. Sometimes I talked to her, and it is clear to me now that she was either annoyed or wanted me to go away.Even disregarding all of that, I still would give the school the same rating. The principal at the time gave me superficial corporate vibes, most of my teachers did not like me or thought I was strange, and the students were... alright to me, I guess.The only reason why I gave this school 2 stars instead of 1 is because of the okay-ish food, the library selection, and that teacher I had in 4th grade... but she retired that same year, so just the library selection and the okay-ish food.

My child called someone fat multiple times and yeah he was in the wrong... but kept saying his teachers dont like him and everyone else would call him names but once he says something its the end.

Having had children in schools all over (military family), this is by far the worst experience ever. Grades dropped from A's to D's, students are disrespectful, staff is even worse, administration and teachers do not care. Asking for help or guidance gets you nowhere. Moved to a private school, and now back to principals list. So very disappointed.
