WC Abney Elementary School

This used to be a great school. 5 years ago I loved it. The area was nice and the school was such a refreshing bonus. Fast forward a few years and the area is not as nice and this school is not nearly as good as it was. My child has had a few bullying issues, and I don’t feel like the situations were handled well and was very disappointed in what happened after I made the principal and teacher aware. The learning isn’t as good as it used to be either. The teachers are basically baby sitters and spend most of their time during the day telling kids to stop acting up. Discipline at home isn’t what it used to be so it’s not all the schools fault for that. The school does offer quite a bit of after school activities and clubs. The PTA has put on a lot of activities for the kids. All the schools in this district are over capacity and the districts solution is to build a new middle school. There are trailers in the front yards of a lot of the schools and it looks so trashy. Paulding county itself is becoming way too overpopulated and we don’t have the school capacity to hold all the kids coming in. Instead of adding onto the schools we already have we are just building another school. I’m really disappointed with how this area has turned out. The schools suffer when there are so many kids and nowhere for them to go.
