I personally love Freedom and miss it since I got transfer into another school. The academic is exellent. Please don't listen to the rumor and stuff about the school. Many or the assisgnment and standard that the student at Freedom already went over hadn't even been taught yet at other school. We are right on track and since the school have a new principle this year, I can't tell you how much the school itself has improve. Trust me, none of the student get bully around . Only if they mess with other. But everyone know how to keep they hand to theirself. I regret so much for leaving Freedom Middle and going to Stone Mountain Middle. If i can go back in time, this would have never happen.

I totally agree with your assessment. I pulled my daughter out of the school this year for the exact SAME reasons. Now, I just hope that we didn't put her in another tough situation. The staff at the school also treats the parents with minimal respect. Actually, I would venture as far as to say that they treat most parents as if they were 'low rent'. They are so

Freedom middle school lives up to the rumors. This is my son's first year there. Since I do not go by rumors. I decided to send my child to the school and evaluate his progress throughout the year. The communication skills of the teachers and principle are horrorable. Riding the bus turned into a disaster. I currently take and pick up my child due to the constant fighting. I've been searching for a new school for my child for the next year. I cannot imagine my child there next year. This year have been a total disaster. Freedom staff should be totally retrained or replaced.

Freedom Middle School's your best bet if your stuck between which school you want your child to attend. Contrary to the rumors about Freedom, Freedom is one of the best in DeKalb. It has an excellent academic program that pushes the stupents to their full potential and at the same time explains it all in a way that is exciting and easy to understand. The extracirrcular activies're top notch. They have a good coach that knows the best strategies and attacks. The after school turorial and Saturday programs arent just there to make the school look pretty either. The whole Freedom staff actually want everyone to be sucessful. There're lots of parents who had students at Freedom, but are still involved on the PTSA. Also Freedom's friendship with Clarkston High helps shape the school and urges the students to do better. Freedom is waaay better than what the rumors say.

Teachers who are firm, tough, yet fair, are mislabeled as, "bullies." This is such a ridiculous and false accusation. I got a tough job but I love my job and I care about the students. People don't have a clue what I do or the challenges... More »

How I handled it varied depending on the circumstances. Teacher bullying is child abuse-proove it 1st! If teacher/pricipal/staff won't stop-go above their heads-Seek help from PTO's,administration,schoolboard,media,even CPS-Child Protective Services.

No one should put up with this. Take it as high as you need to go and follow up everything in writing. Even so far as going to your local paper. School A tolerates bullying and won't help children being victimized. They will listen after that!
