My granddaughter had a great first year in Pre-K.

I came here my sophomore year from a Macon area private school after my dad's job transferred him to the Albany area for a year. Honestly, I found the academics here to be a joke. I had to work extremely hard to maintain good grades in Macon, and barely cracked open a book and made all A's honor roll the entire year here. They told me the "adanced" classes would be too challenging for me when I came, yet my English teacher told me it was crazy they didn't put me in advanced classes because my work was better than some college students he had seen. The books we read in my freshman English classes in Macon were books not read until Junior year advanced English here. In comparison to other schools in the area, sure, Deerfield is probably a better choice. But in comparison to other schools in Georgia? There is no comparison. I also found this school to be extremely unwelcoming to new students, to have very close-minded and sheltered students, and couldn't believe how much sports were held to a higher importance than academics. Unfortunately people here seem to have a skewed idea that they attend the Harvard of private schools. Clearly they've never made it out of Albany.

Academically, this school is probably the best in the area. However, I found it weak in one important aspect. According to its webpage, the school expects its students to maintain the school's commitment to "honor, respect, and civility," yet my experience was that these traits were not encouraged or enforced among the students or among some staff members which led to a less than ideal learning environment.

My children and grandchildren graduated there and they have received very good preparation for college and life.
