In recent years, this school has dramatically decreased in quality. Many of my former teachers have expressed with sadness that some time around my graduating class '09 or '10, the quality of education and student motivation is nothing but disappointing. Even graduating this school in the top 10 couldn't prepare me for life at the University of Georgia. Oh and those former teachers I was talking? Most of them were laid off with the dip in the economy or retired after new administration took over. And ALL of those teachers were in the math and science areas, with a few in history or English or AP classes. I mean the BEST teachers. The ones that were tough but they TAUGHT. The football coaches stayed, of course. Even though they don't contribute to education much at all. The extra-curriculars are this schools only redeeming point. Programs like band and ROTC most likely kept more kids out of trouble and getting pregnant than there would've been without them. Teachers have also told stories of admins deciding whether to buy iPads for labs for no reason while the school faced bankruptcy if it didn't preserve paper. Now, I'm trying to get my parents to send my little sister elsewhere.
