Butler High School

My child absolutely loves attending this school. Since the new school has been built, I can definitely tell that the admins and staff truly care about their students. I've never seen my child so excited about coming to school every morning. Thank you.

This is easily one of the worst school in Richmond County and there is not one person who cares to make it any better. The school's staff, the Board of Education, and the Richmond County Sheriff's Office all turn a blind eye to anything going on here. DO NOT ever enroll your child at this school. They'd be better off asking educational questions at the Shell station down the road.

In our family’s experience, A. Dorothy Haines (Augusta, GA) did not provide the structure or consistent support our child with special needs required. We observed staffing instability early in the school year, including periods where our child’s classroom did not appear to have a consistent, appropriately qualified lead teacher. When a qualified teacher did begin, that teacher was later no longer in the role, and the way the situation was handled did not give our family confidence in the school’s professionalism or stability.When we met with school staff to discuss accommodations and supports, we felt our concerns were dismissed rather than addressed with a clear plan. We also experienced a situation where allegations were made against our family that were later not substantiated, which added unnecessary stress during an already difficult time.Ultimately, we withdrew our child and will not return. PSA to parents of children with special needs: based on what we experienced, I would not enroll my child here again. I recommend choosing a school with proven special education structure, staffing stability, and consistent accommodations.

This school might not be one of the best in richmond county. But, this school has alot to handle because of the type of children they have to deal with. They also have alot of programs for the students to get into. For example: JWC Dance Team, Brodcast (Morning show), Chorus,Math team, Art, Track, ect. The school has just started to offer new clubs and things like: Student Council, Girl Scouts, SCience Club, Cooking Club, Board Games Club, Spelling Bee, and much more. For any students to participate they have to maintain a average grade over an 80. The schools also gets lots of parent volunteers for school dances and parties. There is also a boys & GIrls Club next door which the school shares a gym with. But the Boys & Girls Club really helps alot for after school care, School holidays care, and summer camp. IT is alright!

Ms. Hughes is a great special education teacher. My son has a learned alot in her class this school year. I am proud of what he has been able to accomplish with Ms. Hughes as his teacher.

This school has taught me a lot. The teachers are nice and are more than willing to help students who have trouble. The principal is understanding and takes a part in discipline. I recommend this school for anyone who wants to have a Christian environmental school.
