The schools web site shows how much effort is lacking amongst higher level administration. Other than smart boards, when will we attempt to keep up with technology? Our teaching staff is involved and above average. But it would be nice if they could do their jobs without worrying about dress codes, cell phones and other things that parents should be enforcing with their kids from home. How can we teach our youth to be responsible if we as parents aren't role models?

In all do respect,I do not think that is a very good school.I think that the teachers need to stay on one subject for at least two days,one day doesnt stick into a teenagers head.The dress code is insane,no holes in the jeans,no sweat pants unless the colors match,it is completley insane.Margaretta has okay teachers,honestly i give a great amount of gratification to the cheerleaders.They have been working hard the past two years,the trophies they have been coming home with,i do not like cheerleading,but to watch them compete,it amazes me.I think they need more credit,they work as hard as the football players,but nobody seems to even pay attention.I hope the new assistant principal makes some changes,because our principal,Mr. boningston,does nothing at all.

Teachers are involved and so far have been fabulous. Higher up.. there needs to be some huge administration changes in the district. Buildings are in huge need of renovation but the community has turned down levies largely in part to people wanting to see a change. Our school board has no new ideas. A huge board turnover with fresh young parents would be a great improvement. Great community.. .but it is all about who you know and not what you know. Sports are everything here.

Based on personal experience with the school system, I think they are doing a good job. Yes, it would be great to get a new school but the voters don't support it because of the economy. A lot of residents are also very nostalgic about the buildings. My child has gotten a lot of help from the teachers. Administration wise, they could improve some, i.e., not hiring a lawyer during teacher contract negotiations but dealing with the representatives directly - could have saved the district some money. But, overall I think they do a fairly good job with what they have to work with. It's important to be open and honest with the voters who support them. The majority of the teachers are first rate, with some exceptions - some outstanding and some so/so. Yes, the football needs some changes - start earlier and let everyone play a fair amount.

The building needs work. It will be getting work/new school soon. It will be a number of years until everything is final. School rules are not too strict, but not too flimsy either. It is relatively safe. Most of the 'fights' are simply fistfights that are quickly broken up by other students or by teachers. A good school overall.

the teachers are fairly good. They need to pay more attention to the music programs, they are so worried about the football team that the band is walked all over... and doesn't receive anything. Parent involvment could be better. New administration would be excellant.

Margaretta is an OK school, they just need to stop being so unfair to the kids on dicipline, they administration does not like to hear the kids side of the story, so usually kids are getting punished for things that they did not do. They also need to update on the facilities, this high school was built in the 1930's, it is hard to keep up with technology when the building isnt equipt for it.

Margaretta is an old school that needs at least alot of work done to it or another school. Our school is kind of cheap on whether it needs something but what else do you expect from a small school district. They also need to hire new baseball coachs and new football coachs expect for a couple of them because they don't know how to coach.
