The school has made wonderful improvements over the past 3 years. Parents should take one of the tours offered by the PTSA. It is amazing that frequently parents choose to spend their child's college tuition on private school, without even stepping foot in the building. Don't rely solely on neighborhood rumors. Visit the school, so you...not your neighbor, can determine what is appropriate for your child. Worried about NCLB? Have your heard the rumors that they didn't pass? Probably so. My question to you would be, 'Do you understand why they didn't pass?' Look at the data on the Cobb County website. The school passes in every area, except Special Education Math. Just remember by visiting & researching, you can at least say if you choose private school, that you made an educated decision.

I went to this school and would have to say that it is pretty ok. Most techers are nice, and i did learn things. You cant blame the school for fights. Every school has them.. I lacked in math but the techers did well.. And they do respond back if your paretns call them. The adminstration is good also.

I loved this school! I learned so much, all the teachers are caring and nice! Sure there are a couple of fights here and there but hey what school doesnt have fights! But this school really prepared me for high school i went to Griffin Middle all 3 years and i am very pleased!!

It is a great school that is very underestimated. The education is by far above average.

I love Griffin. I moved here from New Orleans,La and compared to the schools there, this school is like Harvard,lol. My son is in the gifted classes and the teachers at this school are outstanding!

The teachers can really get to know the student as an individual and curve to your needs.

If your child is in the advanced classes it's a very good school. If your child is in the general population it's a very average school.

Thank Godness for Griffin. All my children have gone there and loved it. I will say we have had some good teachers and some bad, but every child has that. The teachers email me if there is a problem, and also send me the progress of my child. They provide something fo everyone. The advanced content and P.A.C.E program is very helpful too. Your child learns alot more on their level and is provied with VERY helpful teachers. The music program is incrediable too. The teachers teach you songs, that amaze every paent. My daughter and son are both in orchstra and chorus, the teachers are great. Overall, I suggest Griffin to all parents. You won't regret it.

My second child is now a 6th grader at GMS. She is, as her brother was, in all Advanced Content classes offered, as well as Chorus and Orchestra. The AC (Advanced Content) teachers are the best! My kids have learned so much there. My son is now in the IB program at Campbell High School, and I feel that GMS's AC classes prepared him well for the smooth transition. I highly recommend parent take advantage of the iParent system to track grades, etc. Parents could also use the website that a lot of teachers utilize. It is imperitive to be involved at the school; if your child knows you care, perhaps they will too. Try to help out the PTSA by volunteering for an event (school dance, Sally Foster sales, Red Ribbon Week, PTSA School Store, Scholastic BookFair, Membership committee, or consider being an officer.
