This school has a fairly large issue with bullying. I believe it is something that Dr. Clark has worked on addressing, but the students aren't reprimanded enough when they do wrong. Continue to work with the parents and support the teachers. There are some good teachers and parents in this community. The only other is issue is that the computers throughout the school are very slow yet they put a lot of emphasis on technology. It would be good if they could upgrade the computers for this school. It does help that they have personal laptops or notebooks that can be used. More training and utilization of their technology would be good though. For example, using the Promethean boards for surveys, etc.

I had a hard time getting my child admitted into the school when we moved out here from a different state. The office was not helpful and when I would call no one answered, returned calls, and you couldn't leave a message because voicemail are full. Once my child started we found out teachers say shut up to students, which she's not used to. The students are rude, cuss, and talk about sex even in front of adults. My child never dealt with this at other schools. It's also hard to get correct information from anyone. Every week I'm writing or up at the school to make sure of information and even then they don't always know. I hope not all GA schools are this or my child will need to be home taught. They need to get their stuff together. It's easy to see why they didn't do well on their tests.

If you love your children, do not put them are Stone Mill. Wish my son was there when the staff was capable of educating and protecting them. The children at stone mill are monsters, well some of them and they are not punished for their bad behavior. Bullying is at an all time high. Students CRCT scores in math are 46% passing and 74% in reading. Instead of focusing on before and after school programs such as music, art, or basketball, they need to focus on tutoring these children so that they can pass the minimum basic shills test. If their parents can't read they should be able to attend tutoring too. How else can we establish a productive and successful society. Time out for elem school wanna be gang bangers. Back to basics.
