The teachers are nowhere to be found when the kids start arguing and fighting. The fighting is excessive and there’s no control. Certain teachers are more worried about going home to their man instead of the kids. The lunch ladies are mean for no reason. They blame the kids for everything but when something goes down the teachers are nowhere to be found and take zero accountability for anything. They won’t even call you if something happens u less it’s time to get suspended or they go to the nurse. If you want a real education for your child don’t send them here I gave it a chance but there’s no way they will ever attend Clayton county school system again. I had to move out of Clayton county because of the school system.

TERRIBLE!!!! If you do have an option, don't allow your child to attend this school. I went to this school kindergarten thru fifth grade it was an excellent school....I'm 28 now! I'm living in the area for little while and my daughter, a first grader has to attend here until we move. I tried to ignore the warning about the CLAYTON COUNTY school reputaion. But since my daughter have been here, I have very disapointed. I bought my daughter school supplies, I go to the school to find out that all the school supplies I bought are getting disbusrt amongst the entire class because only 8 kids brought in school supplies out of about 20 kids! Her teacher is TERRIBLE. She acts like she is overwhelemed all the time. When I walk my daughter ti her class in the morning, the techers are texting in the hallways. I went eat lunch with her and teachers were yelling at the kids like they were animal.The teachers seem so unprofessional, not all of them. I am looking into enrollong my daughter at the Scholars Academy any day now. I gave the school a chance..no more chances. I can't wait until we get out of this county! Parents please get involved wtih your childs education, no matter what grade.
