I am a student at greenville highschool currently. I joined the school in ny 10th grade year, and I must say that this school was a terrible school experience. Everything other people say about this school, all of the negativity towards it, it's all well deserved. My class schedule wasn't monitered properly, keeping me from graduating early. Our GPA's were pushed upwards to points that they should not have been at. Our grades were raised despite performance, all to keep butts in seats and keep the money flowing. There is certainly predjudice within this school as well. The athletes were treated better than everyone else, and in the senior class, it was only the athletes that recieved the important information for our senior activities. When I requested to be added to the senior groupchat to recieve our information, I was met with attitude and was talked down to as if it was offensive to have been asking that. It is listed that we have plenty of classes, like chemistry and various other sciences, but when inquired about, I was told they "didn't have enough participation". So they weren't real classes. We have a science lab that is being utilized as storage. Our classes are grades behind, and the school is not readying its children for the future. For example, our Biology class, a required 11th grade class, is at most a 9th grade level class. If that. The teachers give five hundred chances for students to raise their grade, and the students aren't made to care. Testing scores and grades are incredibly low, and the student literacy is ridiculous. And yet our graduation rate is so high? It shocks me how terrible other students write in the 12th grade. I have taught better than most teachers at the school. In fact, I have had a fellow student ask me if a space goes after a period before. I have had fellow students ask me how to find the average of three numbers. With a calculator. I would not send another child to this school ever. Students are not taught anything. No student left behind has become No student has to do work. Do not send your children to this school.

I have 2 gramdchildren at MVES. Both receive individual assistance and are happy and well taken care of daily. Most faculty members are friendly and look out for student well-being and safety. Communication with parents is excellent. I taught at an elementary school in another GA county for 28 years and can soeak highly of MVES after many years of personal experience involved in elementary education. Keep up the great work.
