Compared to other schools, the curriculum is more rigorous, but it's definitely manageable. The school focuses on Early College preparedness and the teachers are super supportive in making sure you have everything you need to be successful.
I like that it helps you prepare for college and gives you an advantage and edge over your competition.
I don't like how it is the only high school with two strict uniforms/dress code

Elite Scholars is a very average school. Even though it is seen as one of the top ten and has gotten many awards, even the picture perfect school has problems.Elite Scholars is a academic based school so the sports teams are usually clubs or our main sports being for example, basketball, volleyball, track, and swim. Overall the school itself is great for college readiness as you are given a hefty amount of work but have a certain time period to turn it in.
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.
The campus is very clean and well taken care of. Along with this, many of the teachers are very kind and great listeners. Teachers give out a lot of work so it can be tiring at times, but can me managed with good time management.
I’ve been here since 6th grade and I’ve enjoyed it. Now I’m graduating this year and I’d recommend elite if you’re more academically driven.
Very welcoming school with caring teachers. Overall great environment for students to learn. Clean building with gorgeous scenery.
My experience at Elite Scholars Academy was not only for gaining knowledge, but also a time in which I turned my bad habits into good ones and developed sound thinking and reasoning skills.
I never got the full “high school experience” as Covid-19 became prevalent at end of my freshman year and continued until the beginning of my junior year. because of this my freshman year was cut short and my entire sophomore year happened through a computer screen.
However, Elite Scholars Academy did its best to accommodate students' needs during that time.
One thing I would like to see change about at Elite Scholars Academy is that the counselors be a little bit more helpful to its students, as I take on the journey of college I wish I had a little bit more help and I push in the right direction from my school counselors.

I have been going to Elite Scholars since the 6th grade and I wouldn't change my experience for the world.
I have joined clubs, athletic teams, student counsel and more. Since the age of 12, my school has pushed me to not only be the best scholar possible but the best person possible too.
ESA has a great faculty and staff, it is not hard to find a teacher that is interested in your growth as a student and person, in that building.
Over all, Elite Scholars Academy is one of the greatest things that has happened to me.

My experience at Elite Scholars Academy has been substantial. I have acquired valuable knowledge, and have learned and befriended several life-changing people.
The work at the school can sometimes be unbearable. If you don't keep your grades to a certain point, you get kicked from school and sent to another. The good thing is that they push for scholarships and dual enrollment for most students. They have a 100% graduation rate (mainly because those who don't get high enough grades are taken out before graduation).
My experience at elite scholars was like any other, school work everyday, projects and tests. However one thing i believe stood out was the teachers and how much they care about the students. How much they are willing to go to make sure the students are set and ready for their next step in life.
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!
I have been at Elite Scholars Academy since the sixth grade, and the journey has ended so quickly. All of my teachers ands friends have watched me grow. My experience here is priceless. I will miss this school once I move onto college.
Very good experience with friends. I thoroughly enjoyed the end part of high school but freshman year was pretty rough.
Elite scholars is an alright school. The teachers there are easy to get along with but you have to get your work done to be successful.
I have been attending Elite Scholars since sixth grade and I am currently a senior. I can truly say that this school has allowed me to do better academically. The rigor is not at all difficult if you study and take advantage of the available resources. This school has definitely provided me great tools to prepare for college!
