I thought I was I doing my child some due diligence by moving her from Clarke County to here. Since being here, she has fallen way behind (according to them) but in the clarke county school system she was being considered for the gifted program. Teachers make promises of help but you have to continuously follow up in order for them to keep their word. The after school program is a total rip off! They are robbing parents even in this economy. You still are required to pay for a full week even if your child doesn't attend or if the school is closed. I paid every single week but was always told i'm behind. How does that work? She's a fifth grader and my last one so i'll be so happy when we're done with this school!

The administration, teachers and staff at the school are so attentive and caring. I was in Gwinnett County school district previously and my kids have received a highest level of attention from their teacher and their grades are much better in the Barrow County School system. I hope we build more schools in this county it keeps growing and we need more teachers like the ones we have here.

this school is absolutely horrible. they ignore the students as soon as they actually have something to report on. one instance, a student was racist and racially profiling minorities when trying to talk to him. making racist comments like blatant racist remarks, such as calling the hispanic/latino students stereotypical names, foods, and overall calling them immigrants. one student was sick of it and wanted to report it to the teacher. and the teacher “its okay, he doesnt understand what he is saying”. he only had mild autism. on multiple occasions he would racially comment on asian americans, black, native american, and hispanic students. going so far to hitting them just for being that ethnicity. it was reported to a teacher but failed to be recognized and situated. on multiple occasion the physical education coaches would comment on overweight students’ weight. multiple reports of racist students were ignored. the dress code is out of this world for a public school. the teachers would yell and comment on students when not achieving average scores on tests behind closed doors. this school has multiple things to improve on. the school food is nasty, barely passing as nutritious, the pizza would be cold and cardboardy. the fruits would be kept in warm environments and vegetables as well. school milk was expired on multiple occasions in every schoolday. the teachers would give out their personal phone numbers when students would ask questions, which does NOT seem okay. bullying was not handled, students would insult each other across the room with the teacher only telling them to be quiet or nothing at all. teachers would print worksheets from online and give them out to students with no deadline. talking and assignments from anywhere was allowed on every test. every teacher had their own favorite students and some even agreed were better than others. on one occasion a teacher would mock an autistic overweight girl for how she ran and how she talked. i would not recommend this school at ALL.
