I've been a student in the Atlanta public school system since the eighth grade. My experience in middle school(Sutton middle School) was great! The campus was beautiful, the teachers are all very attentive to the students, extra curricular activities were of fun as well. I currently attend North Atlanta High School and this by far has to be the closest experience to a private school (in a public setting) that I've experienced so far. The campus is huge, but intimate. I would consider my North Atlanta teachers and students as family. The teachers are all great I have no complaints and I've done extremely well. My overall experience with the Atlanta public school system has been awesome!
My experience has been rewarding at times with APS. I became enrolled at Atlanta Public School System in the first grade. Since an early age, I was responsible for accomplishing my school assignments not to mention my homework without my mother having to remind me. I stayed hold to making my academic my priority. While in the first grade, my teacher Ms. Jones noticed that I could pronounce and conduct oral conversations very well. I was selected along with a few other students to give the morning announcement over the PA system. Giving inspirations to the entire student body felt special. Most of teachers had a bright and happy spirit to jump start each student. There were teachers who had the passion to see children learn and smile. They would come up with another option of some sort to help everyone engage in our schoolwork.There were only a few teachers who would allow kids to stay late after class for additional assistance. I enjoyed school and working hard to get good grades.
Personally, I am very pleased with Atlanta Public Schools. This school district has given me the opportunities that no other has. I have been in the junior and senior bet club since 2016. I was able to be on a historic golf team were our team has gone to the state championship for 5 years in a row and was the 2019 state championship making us the first black team to win a golf state championship. I have also been given opportunities for band such as playing in the all state band performance as well as the University of Georgia band all state band performance. I have been invited to dinners at East Lake golf club and I am truly blessed to be apart of the Atlanta Public School System.
