Morrow High School

Not a great school. Very much regret putting my kids in this school. I wish I would have known how bad it was before we moved. I am grateful we transferred them.

This was the only high school in Clayton County to achieve AYP in 2008-2009 school year.

I attend morrow high school, and as a student they worry more about what we wear or how we act then what we know.

I attend this school and the staff focuses more on discipline than academics.

I am a former MHS faculty member. During the past 15 years, the school has been plagued with incompetent administrators, low teacher morale and unsupportive parents. Before this, Morrow had excellent, stable administrators, committed faculty members and supportive parents. This resulted in an outstanding student body. Morrow was a great place to teach. It saddens me to think how it has deteriorated. The incompetence in the school system, in general, is dispicable.

I am a formal student of MHS, class of 2005, and my experience was fair. I had teachers who were very helpful and knowledgeable about their subjects. However, the school lacks many classes need to enrich students for graduation. The safety at the school is poor and there is very limited parental involvement. The principal should check-in on active classes more often. But, student progress and grades can be viewed via web and when a student is absent from school a phone call is made. The school also could use some metal detectors during school hours and at the sporting events.

It was questionable whether programs needed to produce student outcomes sufficient for high school levels were employed. The school has had some much needed renovation which has helped. During my child's attendance students were seen standing around the campus during school time obviously not attempting to attend class without apparent redress. A significant number of students do not receive any useful computer training and come out of High School unprepared for college or work. The communications skills, both written and oral, do not seem to improve significantly over those acquired in middle school at this school.

After almost 10 years at MHS, I can honestly say it has gotten worse each year. Students break school rules all the time and nothing happens. The turn over of staff is scary. Not too many veteran teachers left.
