This school is run prison-style. The kids are assigned seats everywhere they go, even at lunch. They have to be granted permission to get up to get a napkin or get up at all from their assigned table. The teachers are sub-par from our experience. 3rd grade was decent, 4th grade has been a nightmare- newer teachers that have no clue how to communicate or get organized. There was a mass exodus of teachers which is also red flag. Lastly, this school is VERY focused on academics and very strict and serious, much like the middle school it feeds, River Trail. If you want your child to have more balance and be able to have a more “normal” school life, I would not recommend this school. Also, the demographic and school focus at home is why the school ranks so high for test scores. It is not the teachers and school structure.

This school is horrible. The staff are nice, sure, but the curriculum is one of the greatest acts of stupidity I have ever seen. Your only chance of surviving this school is getting a perfect set of teachers per grade. The one good thing I would say about "River Jail" is the teachers that are teaching there, they are some of the best teachers that most schools in the state could offer, and that is the saving grace for lucky students. The bullying and toxicity here is insane and students can not do anything about it, and the school work and subject materiel are honestly stupid, annoying and overall impossible, though homework is minimal to nonexistent. It leads a horrible mental incentive for students there, in which a lot of them are dealing with suicidal thoughts and depression and there is nothing to do about it. The school is most asian students, and many staff and Fulton county think it is a good idea to share everything about their student to their parents, when they do not understand what Gen-Z really is and how bad the school is? This leads to horrible stress at home for students, and alongside with FCS rules being some of the dumbest in the entire nation(I have compared this to countless other schools, and let me tell you, this is one of the worst), you can't expect much. There are horrible bullying instances to everyone(as I have said before) and myself, being bullied by an uncountable amount of kids and not being able to do anything, some of them taking it way to far. The hallways are infinitely crammed, include the buses, where there are so much injuries due to the inhumane trafficking of students on there, yet none are recorded. There are kids all over the school, including myself with over 20-30 areas where things out of our control could easily harm us, not to mention that: even though the staff are great, they do not understand what Gen-Z really is and many people get in trouble due to this. Based on this information, I think you can infer what will happen to your child in this school with other areas I have not mentioned. Parents, if you are reading this, please take it easy on your child, as this school will be one of the worst obstacles in their lives, and nothing will help. This goes for majority of students which I have already talked to and expressed their opinion and concern.

i have been going here for two years i would pick any other school in the state to go too
