Every bad review on here is correct. If your child is a child that anything other than Caucasian expect for them to be treated differently. The principle, Jennifer Martin, had her sister-in-law working as an assistant principal at the same school. They favor any child that has a parent staff member. They make up rules as they go. This school system is a charter school system. It’s time to eliminate that….since they get their funding based off students that pass grade, they literally give students the answers to tests. Barrow county school system is a joke.

This organization is a joke, there is no real support for students or parent. They only offer lip service. If your child is having issues and is not able to articulate to you; don't just blame your child. There is probably a real issue that can significantly impact their future success. The s2p pipeline is real. Protect your child, don't abandon them and leave them to these vampires.

There are several factors that make a great school: supportive teachers, engaged admin, parental involvement/support & relevant curriculum. Apalachee HS has none of these. Progressive teachers pushing personal agendas, in fighting of staff & a do as I say, not as I do mentality is what your children will be privy to. Education is on the bottom rung of this school. As far as student safety? Dont count on it. The suicide rate is high for the area, as is the number of students sent to alt school. My children were ill prepared for college at graduation & our regret runs deep for not electing private schooling over this poorly run public school.

I transferred here from a school in Fulton County and this brought to light the issues of our current education system. This school is severally underfunded. As a latinx alumni, it was very clear that there was is a need for inclusion at this school. I have experienced blatant racism my first day. I also experience teachers indifference to students who struggle. As I graduated I felt entirely unprepared for the real world. I hope those in charge of this county invest more in this schools growth and the schools surrounding it.
