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.

To be totally honest, this school is depression if it was a physical building. The principal tiptoes around looking for problems and constantly criticizes people for simple mistakes, causing people to either despise her or butter her up to avoid being picked apart. Most of the teachers talk to students any type of way without care because the school has to scrape at the bottom of the barrel to find new teachers, so the ones who have been here a while know that the school can't afford to fire them therefore they make inappropriate comments such as "If I wasn't at school I would have a lot to say to you" or " It doesn't matter if you learn my paycheck is the same at the end of the month". From the moment you enter you feel the dim atmosphere and overhear students wishing to transfer schools or go elsewhere. This is awful. Do better.
