Josey High School

Monte Sano has been a life-saver for us as a family. I was recently home-schooling our boys and suddenly had to transition them back into public school. We were worried at first how that would pan out, but because Monte Sano has such wonderful and understanding teachers they did just fine. They have done a great job of helping them transition and making them feel right at home. We really could not have asked for a better school. The teachers and staff are strict on a lot of things but work very hard to keep it as safe, but still welcoming to parents as possible. We love this school!

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.

I really wanted to like this school. Overall, for certain children, this is probably a great school. We went to this school for my son because of the additional resources there, that we felt could help with his special needs. We were open with his needs sending records, etc. there were limited to no accommodations made to support his needs. He was treated as a behavioral issue, despite level of education among all the staff and experience working with children. It was clear after a certain point that no one read his records to determine how in the classroom he could be supported. They took our money, but he spent more time at home than he did at school.
