I was formerly employed at Atkinson County High School as a teacher. The students are predominantly those whose parents could not afford or did not choose to send them to private school. They are generally well-behaved, but I do not believe that they are better or worse than children in most small community schools. The school administrators insist on paddling the students who misbehave. There are many other tales to tell, but I think that is enough to get the point across. Also, if you are an employee and can play politics and kiss the backsides of the right people and don't mind the fact that locals will always get preference over others, you will do well here. Do not be from the wrong family or place. Do not expect certain individuals would ever send their own children to this school. Do not expect people to do and say things that won't benefit them or theirs. Do not do these things and you will do well. The last and most important rule I can give you is never cross the wrong people or administrators. Look at how this school compares on the Georgia Public Policy Foundation website: ranked 304 out of 357 in the state, 100% poverty, 52% pass the EOCT, 72% graduate. You decide.

I don't know who that other teacher that gave tje school a bad review, but they must have had a chip embedded in their shoulder, not just on it. I have recently accepted a teaching position at ATCO high, and I can tell you it is the best school I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. The staff is supportive, they are equipping their classrooms for the 21st century, and the kids are the most well-behaved students I have ever encountered EVER. I have taught in other schools and felt like I was in cell block D. Atkinson County HIgh and MIddle is a great school and you would be hard pressed to find a better teaching environment and staff.
