We are wrapping up our first year at Georgetown High School. This school has a friendly, welcoming quality to it that I really appreciate as a parent. Teachers have responded quickly and thoughtfully to any questions I have had. The front office people are kind and helpful. The principal, Mr. Johnson, cares about the school and the students deeply and obviously takes a lot of joy and pride in sharing this school with new families. I appreciate that many parents are involved and care about helping the programs at the school to be the best they can be.I would never have thought I'd be happy sending my kid to a school this large, but the environment truly feels much smaller because of the efforts the leadership and teachers make to connect personally with kids and families.Some classes are not as creative or exciting as they could be, but others have truly impressed me. AP History involves a lot of critical thinking and looking at primary sources with multiple perspectives. My son's AP English teacher holds class discussions, plays, and has helped my son to become independent and much more thoughtful in his writing - an area that has always been difficult for him. The sports programs are top notch, including not just athletics but character development and team-building dinners and other events. I appreciate that the athletes are held to a high standard with their behavior - my son is surrounded by amazing kids and coaches there.Finally, the school has been very thoughtful about keeping up with 504 modifications and I think any student with academic needs like these could be confident they'd have their needs met.

The lack of knowledge the administration, staff, and teachers in dealing with special ed students is unreal. I've never seen a school this bad when it comes to rude teachers. The bullying issue is scary. If they don't address it soon they are going to create a real issue, think Uvalde. I am a retired teacher, my mother, aunt, and graduation were teachers. My grandfather was a Superintendent of schools in OH. This school is disgraceful.

I was a student at this school, none of the staff cared about mental or emotional health. Some teachers enforced rules that were never created. Teachers purposely failed some students. Teachers disrespected students and expected them to respect THEM.
