El Director y todo su personal, hacen un gran equipo..

I was formerly employed at Atkinson County High School as a teacher. The students are predominantly those whose parents could not afford or did not choose to send them to private school. They are generally well-behaved, but I do not believe that they are better or worse than children in most small community schools. The school administrators insist on paddling the students who misbehave. There are many other tales to tell, but I think that is enough to get the point across. Also, if you are an employee and can play politics and kiss the backsides of the right people and don't mind the fact that locals will always get preference over others, you will do well here. Do not be from the wrong family or place. Do not expect certain individuals would ever send their own children to this school. Do not expect people to do and say things that won't benefit them or theirs. Do not do these things and you will do well. The last and most important rule I can give you is never cross the wrong people or administrators. Look at how this school compares on the Georgia Public Policy Foundation website: ranked 304 out of 357 in the state, 100% poverty, 52% pass the EOCT, 72% graduate. You decide.
