Garrett Middle School

Ok. Unless you go to the school you really don't know what's going on. Even the parents don't know every thing that is going on. There is alot of drama but we still do great academic wise. But you will find drama anywhere you go. We are teens you can't expect us to get along with every one we see. We have made ayp for many years now. More years then cooper who, for some reason i can't think of, got a better score on greatschools then garrett. Of course Garret isn't perfect but it's pretty good if you think about it.

My Niece, Kara attends this school. Since she began this school in the 6th grade they have showed great interest in helping her achieve her goals. Every teacher ,councelor and Deans help. She has florishished under there tutorial. She has become a canadite for a magnate program and is encouraged and tutored by te staff their to achieve her goal of becoming a vetanarian. T^hey have ensured that she is prepared to enter high school with all the knowledge and skills she needs t succede. This school not only teached the children academics but also guides them to become successful citizens and to give back to their community

Garrett has the best teacher's and staff. Their academics are top notch

This school is failing kids with a substandard teaching staff and yet another minority administration. Hopefully the coming budget cuts will weed out some of the nonperforming staff and teachers. If I afford to move I would, these schools in the southern part of the county are infested with drugs, gangs and less than involved 'demographic' groups.

School provide a plan to prepare and obtain efficient results for standardize tests, but nothing for day to day growth. If you child has a passion for a particular area of education such as Science, Garrett does not provide a science club, science projects, nor is involved with science fairs. We have not found passionate for learning from staff and have notice laziness with several teachers; until the parent force their concern for results, many teachers does not care if child fail or succeed. Staff is quick to discipline for the smallest incident, but NEVER contact you when improvement, etc is obtained; often I wonder does staff remember being a child. I would like to see a plan where children are challenge and opportunities are available to get the best from the environment to prepare children for high school. Oh, what happen to homework because homework is not a high on the list? Now with the cuts in Cobb to balance the budget, I m more concern and we have 2 years to go!

Garrett is great in all aspects! My child's teachers got her CRCTs up to EXCEEDING! And she actually loves learning and doing her best. She never was an honor roll student until she got to Garrett!

This is a wonderful school. I like this school because they teach students to act in an orderly manner. They also stay on the subject which they teach. Thanks Dr.Harris
