Marietta 6th Grade School

MSGA rocks! My son attends and absolutely loves the school, staff and especially Principal Hibbs. As parents coming from a local private school we were very concerned about curriculum, location and being a stand-alone 6th grade only school. The academics are as rigorous as any other school we previewed and in most cases more challenging, with teacher participation far better than the private school we came from. The Mile program is outstanding with constant updates from the teacher and my son feels more involved and motivated because he is given responsibility to be accountable for his own actions. I currently have two daughters at Westside Elementary, and feel very confident that when they get to MSGA it will be even better!!

The Marietta City School system is declining rapidly. Most people seem to be sending their kids to private schools in the area. Without trying to get into a class issue, this obviously affects the student population as well as the parental level of involvement. I am both a former student as well as a parent of a student so I have seen things develop towards a negative end first hand.
