East Cobb Middle School

My daughter just finished the 6th grade advanced content classes and she had a wonderful year! The teachers are really involved with the students and making sure they have a good grasp of the materials. Every teacher has an email address and my daughter used them often for any questions that came up during homework time. She is very excited about 7th grade and I am excited for her! Also, there are lots of extracurricular activities available and plenty of opportunities for parents to be involved with the school!

My daughter is also in advanced content classes. She has been at East Cobb for both 6th and 7th grade. She loves it and is happier with this group of students, teachers, administrators, and staff than at any other school she is ever attended and it is middle school!!!

Great school if you can get your child into their advanced classes. The teachers are excellent and do a great job of preparing your child for the road ahead.

The school is not the same as it was 10 or even 5 years ago needs new administration if you have other options do not send your kid there.

There's plenty to do in this area... You must have your own transportation which is very important in any southern state. There's a boys and girls club in the area, YMCA, & plenty of malls (lol)....Do your research and you will see... :)

Not sure if this the place I need to ask this question. I have a daughterer age; 13 that is in the 9th grade. We are relocating from the Washington DC area. We will arrive on Jan 3, 2011 she is very nervous that no one will like her and she will not have friends or nothing to do. Is there things for youth to do in this area, she also cheer and love softball. Any help at all with this will be appreciated. WE are moving the Westminister Square Apartments.

I have never seen a happier bunch of middle school kids. They just love it here. The building is not fancy, the kids are all so different from one another -- race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status -- but they get along great. The teachers seem to love it here, too, and are dedicated to helping all kids do their best. They are very good at noticing when a kid needs an extra challenge or extra help.Plus, ECMS has a STEM program that is widely recognized as a leader statewide.

I went to ECMS and loved it. I am still very close friends with all of the girls I hung out with at ECMS and Wheeler. Our children play together and will be attending ECMS in the future. I think East Cobb gets a bad rap because of one or two opinionated people who made their experience a negative one. I received a wonderful education at ECMS and I'm proud to live in the district again!

Great kids...great staff...and a growing parent support group!

ECMS has a diverse student body, excellent and enthusiastic teachers and staff, and a very active non-profit foundation (ECMS Foundation) that sponsors Challenge Day for the entire 7th grade class every year. My child was active in the Robotics program and Odyssey of the Mind competitions. ECMS is also very active in Science Olympiad, and is a local pioneer in the integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum.
