My experience at Allatoona has truly been special. It has allowed me to meet some of the greatest people I have ever met, including both my teachers and friends. Allatoona is also a very challenging school which has prepared me very well for college. Overall, I have had a blast. From the hype of "Enter Sandman" playing as the Bucs take the field on Friday nights (yes we copied Virginia Tech) to community service events such as Shop With A Buc, the spirit of Allatoona can be seen everywhere. Go Bucs!

While Allatoona had students well prepared for state mandated testing, they allowed sexual harassment/assault to take place on campus and encouraged sports over academics. The administration never cared about the fine arts programs that would bring in trophies and awards left and right-it was always about the sports teams that would lose in the finals.
My experience attending Allatoona has been pretty good. I have had terrible experiences with this school, but i have also experienced some great ones. Some improvements I would suggest are better math teachers and department in whole, more/different counselors due to the fact that the couselors currently complain about their jobs being too overwhelming, and maybe in the future more career pathway classes. Allatoona does have good qualities though like a great library complete with books, ipads, and computers; good health options offered at lunch, and programs like dual enrollment are offered.
