This is a great school to attend! Peachtree is very uniquely designed school. This is one of the only schools to be on block schedule, this is important because it prepares you for college. Also, the school is very diverse, you can meet students from all over the world and learn a lot from them. The teachers at this school work extremely hard for students to become successful, they allow after school help, during lunch, during their planning period and before school help for all students.

Peachtree Ridge was a new school for me. On first day, I was so scared that I won't make any new friends. I was shy to speak, surprisingly, people came up to me and introduce themselves. That was how I met my first group of friends. The school is very diverse, we have a population of every race in our school, this is something that hardly sees in most of Georgia high school. Also, my Orchestra teacher helped me when I was lost in hallways, even Seniors took me to the class. I am very thankful. I knew teachers along with other faculty was there for me. I feel safe in this new home, everyone is accepting me. Our school also have good sportsmanship and every students have the equal opportunity to achieve goals. Most teacher was there after and before school to help students, giving us the best environment to learn. Our principle Dr. Mathews gives out encouraging messages every morning, believe that we are all unique young people; one day, we will be successful. Go Lions!
I loved the rigorous courses they provided, and their academics were outstanding with the numerous AP classes they offered. I also loved how it was such a diverse school and you could probably find anyone different ethnicity. Their block schedule was also another great aspect of the school which allowed for a better learning atmosphere because it gave students a reasonable amount of time to get situated in each class with each class being around an hour and a half long compared to only 45 minutes which most other schools offer. Even though it seems like a long time for a class, it was actually really helpful in allowing students to get comfortable with the class and allowing for more educational learning time. One thing that needs improvement is the teacher, student bonding. Sometimes, students aren't able to get as much help that they need after school because their schedules don't match up with a teachers.
