Alum: Young Americans Christian School (later referred to as "YACS") lives up to its advertisement of college preparation. Education is general, but it is centered around the Christian worldview. YACS is a pretty small school (my graduating class had around 45 people in it), so it falls behind in some categories, including clubs and activities, sports, and electives. The school lacks "class" diversity, which may be a consequence of the price. During my stint at YACS (7th-12th grade), I made good relationships with teachers and staff, served in various capacities, and learned a lot from the underlying culture. For those able to afford private education, I recommend considering this unique and effective school.... Read 71 reviews

Parent: Great School! Love this school. Teachers are amazing and my kids love it. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a good Christian School. You honestly feel like family here and if thats how you want to feel, go to Peachtree Academy. I love this school so much. The teachers and stuff are super kind and helpful. They have a lot of sports and clubs and stuff like that, that many people would enjoy. Honestly, just come to Peachtree Academy because I honestly don’t have anyone else to tell you because this school is honestly the best private school my kids have ever gone to.... Read 8 reviews

Alum: My Heritage High School experience was a 10/10. Throughout my 4 years at that school it was nothing but a positive experience. I had so much fun whether if it was in school or doing extracurricular activities. My ninth grade year was a little bumpy. I was trying to find my place in the school and within myself. My tenth grade year, I joined the peer leading group and I started to play soccer. My tenth grade year was overall one of my favorite years. In eleventh grade, it was totally virtual, and I really didn’t like it and felt like online learning wasn’t for me , but my teachers at heritage made sure I had all the resources i needed for me to pass. My senior year was a fun experience. We had senior activities such as the senior field day, parade, and more! They made sure we had enjoyable activities and more. Heritage high school overall was a positive experience!... Read 462 reviews

Senior: The atmosphere of my school is very inviting. When you go to my school, you aren't treated like a student, you're treated like family. The faculty and stuff have the success of their students as their top priority. The school offers many extracurricular activities that allow students to express their talents and interests with others who share similar interests. The extracurricular activities range from academic teams to sports and to community service groups. My school is accommodating for all types of students, making it very easy for any type of student to succeed. My school also has a very strong college readiness program so students can still excel once they graduate. Overall, my school is one that strives to make each student who enters succeed in their own way possible, and encourages making lifelong relationships for the benefit of everyone....

Parent: eing new to the Rockdale school system I was unsure what the experience would be. So far Pine Street Elementary has made Me and my child's welcoming into the community fantastic. The teachers are awesome and I must say that they communicate accomplishments and concerns (if there were any) and that is a really big plus. When you step on the campus you get a since of pride. The school is newly built and they do a great job with the up keep. Every week it seems like the children have new activities that they are able to participate in and I love the fact that my child really like the food selections they have at school. Pine Street and its gifted program is really setting a standard amongst the Rockdale school system wanting to keep the children engaged. When I look at my child's class and how bright they are I see the future of Conyers/Rockdale.... Read 1 review

Senior: Salem High School was a great experience for me. Being here for 4 years have changed my life and I’m thankful for it. When I first came there, I was a shy kid and very unhappy in my life until I went to so Salem. When, I went there I decided to try Football and it was the best decision in my life. Joining that program changed me physically and mentally. The program made me ready for college and will be attending Reinhardt university to play college football. The teachers and administration really helped me and made my 4 years a lot easier. I would have never though I have this many friends and great support system through my 4 years. I would recommend Salem High School to anybody that want to get ready for college, make friends, good sports and clubs, and a great support system.... Read 409 reviews
