East Columbus Magnet Academy

Honestly, this school has improved a lot since my mother (40 years plus) has gone here. This school receives a lot of bad press because of what the scores were years ago but I know for a fact if you participate, volunteer, get involved and assist with your child at home that your child too will be a light in any school that takes the time to teach child with care, compassion and patience. This school has improved during the year my child attended and I wouldn't trade that experience for nothing in the world. Like all schools there are down falls, the only issue I would like to be addressed in this school are incidents that occur with bystanders, keeping the gate closed to the playground area and notices about any changes that were made during the course of the school year.

I went to Georgetown Elementary til 3rd grade. Race was a strong component of your reputation and I was constantly told not to be listened to because I was not black. I never brought up anything political, I was told not to be listened to when answering questions like "How does long division work?" The teachers were not any better. A teacher, when told about the bullying, simply stated: "kids are going to be kids." I eventually transferred to a much better school after being pushed to the ground by about 6 students at the exact same time in the library. Though the librarian was there and saw it, she did nothing. Overall, this school had a huge problem with bullying and most teachers overall did not care about the students.

This school is horrible. The principal doesn't know how to address bullying amongst her students. IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO BE BULLIED SEND THEM HERE!!!!!!!!! This school is horrible on bullying. Not only my children but other children as well. Also if your child stands up for themselves they too will get suspended and reep the consequences of the bullies action.

The worst school in Muscogee County. The principal Ms Hamilton is unprofessional with a attitude problem. Hamilton constantly picked on my child while attending. She would always go to my child’s classroom just to find her wrong doings. She would also single my child out of everybody in the class. Hamilton told lies saying that she would be the last one to leave the school everyday after school. The staff just be all over the place. They call your phone about every little thing. The staff is unprofessional as well. They don’t do right with registration. My child been in school since the beginning of the year and now they are telling me she can’t return until she have some form done. Which they never told me about the form until a couple days ago. They withdrew my child because of her vaccines paperwork had her name spelled wrong. Which was the form they overlooked at registration. After correcting with her doctors they did not allow my child to return to school after they said they would. Their after school pick up is not safe for the kids. Really anybody can pick your child up all they need is your car number to make copies of it. So the school wouldn’t really know who picks your child up.
