Brantley County High School

Pitiful!! I am from Atlanta GA and my husband is from Tampa, FL. I knew the ideaology out here would be out dated, but this is beyond anything I would have ever imagined! I have been told by a science teacher that the system couldn't afford books, the Microsoft 2010 class has more students than computers, so they share and about 3/4 of them work. Bullying is rampid. new Principal every yr, my son is a 504 student, he is a Sophmore, they just realized he is in 504. What lil money is spent on them isn't on thier safety, being every time there is an out of town event, the buses break down. There is NO parent teacher communication, my son has been on 25 field trips or sporting events, not one time have they come in on time, nor have they called the parents to inform them of thier tardiness. Last yr the ROTC Captain lost a child, all us parents waited 4 hrs in the parking lot, before one of the teens texted back. When he did, he said they were told 20-25 minutes till they pulled in, another hr and a half later he texted and said they stopped to eat. There is a reason land is/was so cheap here, no one that isn't from this community would dare regress to this time warp.

Brantley County High School is a wonderful school! My husband and I both graduated there ('72 and '74) and are parents of 4 children who are BCHS alumnni ('93, '96, '99 and '03), one of whom has recently returned to teach at BCHS. The staff there is caring and concerned about the students on every level. Although BC is not an affluent system, its resources are utilized to the best possible extent so that students will gain maximum benefit. My family and I are proud to be Heron alumni!
