Johns Creek High School

I have two kids here and they are both thriving. The teachers are very responsive and everyone is kind. It feels that they are getting a private school education with a public school price tag.

Not an easy transition when we moved towards the end of elementary school, my son struggled to adapt to the new environment both socially and academically, with little functional support from the school. We did arrive 1 year post COVID so that may have had something to do with it. As a parent, I feel the school is excellent. The front desk staff is wonderful, the teachers are fantastic and the rest of the staff are kind. My son struggled but he enjoyed the school. Heavy academic focus, preferential treatent to those with high standardized test scores and in TAG (Talented and Gifted). The school has many fun family nights and after school activiteis for families to be invovled.

Our family's experience at Mount Pisgah was deeply disappointing. As the parent of an African American boy, I did not feel that my son was consistently supported, valued, or treated with the level of care and fairness that we expected from a Christian school.Over time, I became concerned that his educational and emotional wellbeing was not being prioritized. Rather than feeling encouraged, he left the school struggling with the emotional impact of his experience. As a parent, there is nothing more difficult than watching your child lose confidence in an environment that should help them grow.I also found the administrative process to be frustrating. Matters that should have been straightforward required repeated follow up, and I often felt that my concerns were not addressed in a timely or meaningful way.Based on my family's experience, I would encourage African American families particularly those with African American boys to ask detailed questions about the school's culture, support systems, and how concerns are handled before making an enrollment decision. Every family's experience may be different, but ours did not reflect the inclusive, Christ-centered environment we were hoping to find.I sincerely hope Mount Pisgah takes the opportunity to reflect on the experiences of minority families and continues working toward ensuring that every student feels seen, respected, and genuinely supported.
