Elite Scholars Academy is a charter school located in Jonesboro, Georgia. I have been at Elite Scholars Academy since sixth grade, and I am now a senior. I felt like the school really pushed its other students and I academically in order to prepare us for college. There is just an atmosphere to excel and do better. The school focuses a lot of academics that sports and clubs kind of get side-lined, which I think is not the best. COVID-19 has also made school a little more tiresome because nobody really wants to do virtual school, both teachers and students. However, I do enjoy the face-to-face portions. I also feel like the seniors get the short-end of the stick because of the pandemic and we aren't really able to celebrate our last year of highschool to the fullest, which sucks. Overall, I really enjoyed attending the school and I would recommend it to students in the Clayton County area!
While the curriculum is great and rigorous, the administration is not the greatest for providing assistance to a more individual centered academic path. Students are often left on their own or being pushed to do dual enrollment rather than the administration and counseling working with them to focus on their individual needs and paths. At times some staff and teachers can even be rude or disrespectful. However, as with most schools, there are some very phenomenal teachers who are great at what they do. Overall, the school’s staff and rigorous academic requirements tend to take a toll on the students mental well-being with many students showing signs of depression and anxiety.
Elite Scholars Academy has been a fun experience for me over these 6 years. I really love the fine arts department and academics as well. I have been in the orchestra since 6th grade, and the music teachers that I have had so far have been amazing, understanding, and really helpful in my music career. Academics are also going well. There is a lot of homework that is required during the years, but it is not all bad because the homework makes sure that I grasp what is being taught and helps with time management. Something that I believe can be improved is the electives. Since our school is small, we don't have many electives to choose from. I feel like more electives would be better for the students. For example, I have always wanted to take a pottery class as a child, but that is not possible for me because that is not an option in my school.
