This high school was meant to be somewhere I would be safer in that Mt. Zion. Its genuinely the WORST high school I went to. I went to Mundy, Mt. Zion, and Morrow. I've done everything I can to keep my negativity away from any platforms but I've had enough of seeing this school in the news. There is a severe lack of security in that building, the magnet kids I was with at the time weren't any safer than the public school kids. I saw weapons and chemicals brought into that school more than any other, and yes, when it was found out about, proper authoritys were notified, yet no changes. It's only getting worse (with knowledge from friends with evidence and news articles and programs). Not to mention, the *teachers* fight students. Don't get me wrong, there were some really great teachers there, but they get hired and leave. For good reason as well.Me personally, I was bullied. Not mainly by students, by teachers. I was never given proper instruction in many of my classes, and was failed for simply saying I couldn't do the work because of a home emergency (with proof). When I had brought up any trauma I faced, I was laughed at or brushed off. They promote what the county wants, but they don't actually take it seriously. I genuinely hope the good teachers there find a place where their careers aren't shadowed by this place. They deserve better and I wish the school would do more to better themselves.The only thing I can say, Mundy is an amazing school, but even Mt. Zion felt like a higher educational place regardless of the community and students who bash on it.

FIVE STARS... I have three children that have and/or is attending Roberta T Smith Elementary School (RTSE). One child is in the 6th grade/promoted to the 7th grade. The second child will be attending the 6th grade this upcoming 2020/2021 school year. The third child will be in the 4th grade this upcoming 2020/2021 school year at RTSE. All of my children have attended RTSE since the kindergarten. All of my children have done well. The leadership has always had high expectations of the teachers, students, parents and community partners. I know by what I have been involved in, seen with my own eyes and experienced that I could not have enrolled my three children to a better school. My two older children are attending Elite Scholars Academy and my last child participates in the GIFTED Program at RTSE. Now, they are special but no special than any other children. However, because they attended RTSE they have received a great start to their education.

Tbh, this school isn't bad, doesn't really help when students call each other racial slurs and the teachers don't pay attention, I've even seen 7th grader's underage vaping in the classroom and bathrooms, and the teacher didn't catch on, there was one teacher who encouraged their students to fight each other. and kids who are fresh outta elementary school and they're twerking, NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THAT. and last but not least in hallways 800 and 700, cafeteria bathrooms, and the connection hall bathrooms DON'T HAVE LOCKS ON THE STALLS, yet they can pay for new cafeteria tables. The only hallway that has locks on the bathroom stalls is hall 600, like how do yall only give 6th graders privacy to use the stalls when 7th and 8th grade stalls could possibly have risks of bozos kicking the stalls open while that kid is embarrassed and those kids just laugh while the kid's bottom half is exposed while they're using the bathrooms. and in my opinion, this school has great teachers. it's sometimes the students and the flaws i just listed.
