Eastminster School

My son studied there and he likes his school and the teachers who taught him were very good

I would NEVER recommend this school. I absolutely regret having sent my own children there, even though a year had passed since they have attended.

The school was ok when my kids were younger, the teachers were supportive and the classrooms felts safe. Now that they are older we deal with bullying issues constantly and I do not see where the kids are being reprimanded because they continue to bully other kids. The environment feels like the teachers are stressed out and do not want to be there. Now there are a few teachers that are really good at what they do but not enough for me to recommend the school as a whole. Some of the teachers are really rude and do not know how to talk to children in a way that is not demeaning. I do not think this is an isolated issue that is unique to Flat Shoals. The middle schools in Conyers have some of the same issues. I am truly considering an affordable private school option.

I use to like this school but it's too much bullying from children and not enough consequences behind it. My child can't defend herself physically if she gets hit first is their rule. When she does defend herself everytime she gets in more trouble than the person bullying her. Communication is bad as well except if you have a teacher that agrees with communication is key as well. Their should be more meetings about bullying and make sure parents are aware of what their children are doing at all times.

This school is… alright. It’s not the worst, but it’s definitely not the best either. Some teachers are really nice and actually care about helping students, but others just seem like they don’t want to be there. Some classes are interesting, but a lot of the work feels like busywork rather than actual learning.The environment is a mixed bag. I’ve met some great friends, but there’s definitely drama and cliques, like in any school. Bullying isn’t the worst, but I have seen cases where the school didn’t really do much about it. They say they have strict rules, but it doesn’t always feel like they follow through.As for extracurriculars, there are some good clubs and sports, but not a ton of variety. If you’re into the more popular activities, you’ll be fine, but if you’re looking for something unique, you might be out of luck. The school could definitely invest more in things like arts, music, and tech programs.Overall, it’s an okay school. If you just do your work and find the right group of people, you’ll be fine. But if you’re looking for a school that’s really exciting or different, this might not be the place for you.
