I graduated from an Atlanta PS & had heard so much positivity about the Cobb county educational experience. My student is in the top of her class & her grasp of simple topics & subject matter is far below what mine was & my other young relatives in Fulton PS. & Atlanta PS. I am appalled at her level of knowledge in history, mathematics, & literature. Projects; a joke, materials; joke, classroom behavior; joke, teachers understanding of subject is grossly limited. Teachers are childlike themselves & do not challenge students. My daughter's work is so easy to do, she breezes through it & still has no idea what she has done. I have no idea how her grades are as good as they are because when I delve beyond what the teacher just 'passes out' she has no clue. Many supporting stories. Too many to tell.

Grant it, South Cobb, as well as many other schools in Cobb County can stand to do better in a few areas. In response to the student who transferred from N Cobb, AP classes are available to those who qualify! South Cobb has a fantastic Magnet Program as well. Dr. Riveria did a great job turning this school around, he will be missed by the students, staff & parents, but let's not loose focus on the big picture! Let's all work to make SCHS better than before. Parents - get involved. Students - stop complaining and start learning!! This is what it is going to take to improve SCHS.

South Cobb is the worst school!! I do not like it for nothing. The students are ghetto and the lunch is not that good. Half the teachers can't teach it's sad. I came from north cobb and north cobb is much better! They don't even have that much AP classes to take.

As a parent of three South Cobb graduates I can not believe anyone would call this school anything but disgraceful. Currently I have a senior and a sophomore who are being moved to another county to finish out High School. The graduation ceremony itself was a farce, both poorly planned and executed. There was inantiquate parking and seating, accompanied by poor crowd control. Instead of parading the faculty out in a musical fashion and having them take up a multitude of seating that should have been reserved for family; they should have been dispersed throughout the crowd to help with noise and seating. The graduates were not even visible by their family members and the audio was drowned out by rude audience members. The high point of SCHS is the ROTC program, Col Bradley and his staff. He will be remembered fondly by myself and my children.

I am a parent of a student currently attending SCHS and I am disappointed with the administration. I feel uninformed of what is going on at school. I do greatly appreciate being able to go online to PINNACLE and see my child's grades. However, not all teachers stay on top of entering in grades into the PINNACLE system online. Grades are sometimes not entered until you are about to receive a progress report/report card.

Okay, wow. Anyone on this website who claims that South Cobb is a 'great' school, you must be mistaking this school for something else. I am a senior at South Cobb this year and im having so many problems with the administration and unruly disrespectful students that i am now having to transfer out of the school. The whole four years i have been at this school have been hell for me. The administration is very rude and unwilling to help with many problems because 'they have more important things to do'. I cannot believe whoever enrolls all of the people in this school but they must realize it is extremely over crowded. The teachers are also very rude and really do not care to help the student with any problems they have. I will only remember one teacher and thats coach jackson ( : . This school is rediculous.

South Cobb is a great school, and the principal, Dr. Grant Rivera does an excellent job maintaining the safe and learning-based environment.
