Union Grove High School

My children have been here for a couple of years .. to make it short … I don’t recommend the school. All though my children has had great teachers , the front office(administration) is the real problem here. My children were getting bullied and all types of things . Last year my daughter was being mistreated by a teacher , and guess what that teacher did? Didn’t give my children any awards but she made great grades all year ! Her behavior was great as well in class as far as her soon points received , etc. she literally made a fool out of my child! So at this point, I pray I can get my children somewhere else .. this is just sad all around. I get left in the dark about things concerning my children .. I don’t know about things until they tell me when they come. It’s draining and tiring. I really wanted to like this school because it was recommended to me by a teacher from a previous school.

Our family has been dealing with ongoing and deeply troubling issues at this school. My son has been bullied repeatedly. He has been spit on. He has come home with busted lips. Despite multiple incidents, the school has failed to adequately prevent or meaningfully intervene in the behavior.I have met directly with both the principal and vice principal to address these concerns. I have also filed formal reports with the superintendent. Although conditions briefly improved after escalation, the environment ultimately reverted back to the same harmful patterns.It does not feel like the children at this school are in a psychologically safe space. There appears to be more focus on documenting incidents than addressing the root causes. The result is a paper trail that protects the institution rather than protecting the children.What has been most heartbreaking is hearing my son come home and say, “Mommy, I did not get bullied today,” as if simply being left alone for a day is an achievement. No child should normalize survival as success.This began in kindergarten. He is now in first grade, and the pattern has continued.If you are willing and able, I strongly encourage you to carefully evaluate whether this environment is truly serving your child’s well-being. Every child deserves safety, dignity, and the freedom to learn without fear.

Terrible school likes to discipline children who have special needs

My daughter transferred in mid-October after we relocated to McDonough. I was initially apprehensive about changing schools, especially since third grade is such a critical year, but I’ve been very pleased with the curriculum and communication so far.
