Takes very strong precautions for safety measures with the corona virus and online school. With CTLS, cobb county schools really took a lot of time and effort to ensure that the website works smoothly and properly for each and every student. They are very good at taking advice and suggestions for CTLS issues, and turning them into solutions. Academically, Cobb provides an abundance of resources for virtual tutoring, one on one lessons with teachers via Zoom, college essay workshops, college scholarship opportunities, and more to come. Athletically, Cobb allows athletes to compete safely with mask recommendation and promotion of social distancing, as well as sanitization. With extracurriculars, Cobb has done a great job of keeping volunteer events virtual and to a minimum of in person (but with excellent mandations of masks and social distancing). Overall, Cobb has been handling the corona virus situation excellently.
One thing I like the most about Cobb County Schools is their involvement in their student's lives. They're very active when it comes to sending out information whether it be on scholarships, colleges, sports, clubs, etc. Cobb County never fails to keep their students informed on current issues in our society. Another aspect I admire is their willingness to help us. The resources they provide to students are always helpful. This includes after school study sessions, early morning sessions, links to tutors, counseling, etc. They never sit back and watch a student fail. They go out of their way to help those students no matter the cost. One last thing I like about Cobb County schools is the family moto they project onto us. There's no I in team and they teach us that it is ok to ask for help because some things are done better together. This includes sports teams, friendships, clubs, etc. When it's time for you to graduate, you leave knowing that you'll always have a home in Cobb.
I enjoyed the diversity of not only races but ethnicity and origin that allowed me to have a rich/cultured friend group growing up. I also appreciated their strict stance on bullying, although I believe the parties involved should not be subject to equal punishment if one is clearly more at fault. I liked the standard of cleanliness the school was maintained at and am grateful that most teachers truly cared for students and their success. I believe the school dress code needs to be amended so as not to be as disproportionately restrictive towards females or at least just as restrictive for the males as for the females. I also think the school should allow teachers more freedom to remove those continuously disrupting the classroom while others are attempting to learn. Lastly, I strongly suggest higher standards of time-efficiency for academic counselors filling out college recommendations as these delays nearly cost a few friends their schools of choice and unrivaled scholarships.
