DeKalb County High School, was nothing special and often failed me. It was lacking in resources and even the teachers at the time lacked life. Nothing outstanding, not even mid. I was able to graduate and continue my education, but that it because of my own motivation, not because I felt this school helped me in anyway. Unless you were involved in sports, or knew a teacher personally in some way, you school-life was spent in basically darkness without help or a friendly face. I graduate early, along with many other bright students, but I feel this was because the children were especially bright and motivated, not the school or teachers. The only good thing through my high school life was the library and librarian. Even those changed; they got a new librarian my last year and having visited a year prior, I am saddened to see that the library is a computer room (good for technical reasons) with only a single wall of of books.

I am writing this review as a parent whose children have attended schools across the country due to our military background. Throughout those experiences, I have never encountered leadership as disappointing as what I have seen under the current administration.There appears to be a lack of accountability for student misconduct, along with favoritism toward certain students, including in sports-related activities. These issues create an environment that feels unfair and discouraging for many children.My hope is that the school district carefully evaluates these concerns and considers leadership changes that would provide all students with a safer, more supportive, and equitable educational experience.
