Excellent facility, wonderful faculty, great school community, the best fine arts faculty in the state of Georgia!


Posted July 21, 2007

Mrs. Hudley and Mr. Davis are very good at what they do. They are the principal and the asst principal. Unfortunately the parents do not do their part in the homes. In School Suspension is over flowing and in the class room teachers are babysitting instead of teaching. The program would work great if parents did their part more in the raising of children. I am homeschooling now. The School did NOT let me down, the parents DID.
