Coleman Middle School

BB Harris is an excellent school. It’s small, and the teachers and staff really care. My son was very sad to leave it behind when we moved away.

You don’t notice it at first, but when something happens to your child, you start to see how the school values administrative convenience more than your child’s safety. There is also clear favoritism within the system.

I would not recommend this school. They put something in my son’s permanent school record that led to him being labelled. Woodward let the Caucasian student who did the action with my son off without anything being put in his record. This labeling followed my son to Woodward Academy main campus where he was picked out by staff and put in detention for minor offenses with the same African American boy nearly every day. It caused my family and son a lot of emotional distress. It led to my son not liking this school.

Our daughters are currently in their third school year at this school and absolutely love it. The teachers are wonderful, the students are kind, and our daughters have never experienced any bullying. The school offers very strong academics and is an IB school, something only a few schools in Georgia have. The transition from elementary to middle school is excellent and truly prepares students to work independently and excel. The school is very diverse, with families from many different nationalities. We also love that it is a Catholic, conservative school that welcomes everyone, treats all families with respect, and provides a strong, authentic Catholic education.
