Alum: The teachers are very passionate about what they teach and the environment is super supportive! The schedule is very intensive and not flexible for students with major time commitments, and lunch is unfortunately quite short. Schedule accommodations are being made though!... Read 510 reviews

Senior: Alpharetta High School provides a great education for young adults while they learn how to be independent. The school hold high expectations for their students and expects excellence. While they focus on academics, they also give special attention to sports. They provide opportunities for students to participate in multiple clubs and make sure you feel included. I love the school spirit because they support their students no matter the result. While the school is amazing, there are some downsides to it. Teachers may sometimes take preference to certain students. Overall, I would recommend this school because it gave me an opportunity to become the best version of myself.... Read 564 reviews

Senior: For what the school lacks in facilities and strong sports team, it makes up with incredibly devoted teachers who work relentlessly to ensure that every student is getting the best education they can. The education succeeds other Atlanta private schools, despite being a free charter school. The spirit is strong as everyone knows each other and contributes to the overall life of the school. However, being a small charter school with minimal funding creates a lack of facilities and ability to have strong sports teams. There are still many ways to get involved and be apart of the community despite the obstacles.... Read 16 reviews

Alum: Experiencing Savannah Arts Academy was a dream come true. I had experienced most my schooling in Seattle before that so coming to Georgia was a major culture shock. A lot of schools in Savannah weren’t heavily supported back then, especially the liberal arts within schools. To have a school dedicated to what I’ve wanted to do since a little girl was amazing and unforgettable. I was taught appreciation for the resources we had and how to make the best out of those resources. From “Junk to Funk” fashion shows to “Hair Spray” Musical Theatre, it has fully shaped me to continue to follow my dreams! Thank you for reading my review, but the only change I would like to see is more exposure.... Read 632 reviews

Senior: I've had an overall positive experience here. There's a good amount of school spirit among the student body. We have great teachers! The counselors are helpful as well as the administrators. There are a wide variety of classes offered, which means you can tailor your schedule to fit your interests. The fine arts program is really great, that's what I'm personally involved in. We have really good sports teams as well though, and a huge amount of clubs.... Read 276 reviews

Alum: SSA was the best experience that I have ever had. I met some of the most amazing people. I also found my love for wanting to pursue a degree in middle school education. STEAM provided me with valuable skills and knowledge that I can apply in my future career. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of such a life-changing school. Statesboro STEAM isn't really just a school; it's a family. The supportive and inclusive environment at STEAM helped me grow not only academically but also personally. I am confident that the experiences and relationships I gained at STEAM will continue to positively impact my life for years to come.... Read 14 reviews

Senior: 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!... Read 167 reviews

Alum: The best part about being a student at Metter High School was knowing everyone, the city of Metter was such a small a small community that you knew everyone. There was never a time where I didn’t feel like I fit in. Everyone was like family. The worst part about the school was that it was so small is kind of closed some opportunities for students.

Niche User: Irwin County High School was a great school to go to. Even though many days I did not have the motivation to go, I got myself up and headed to school. I studied hard and attended class everyday. I did this because I knew how important education is for myself. Coming from a small town, the community played a large role with the high school especially when it came to sports. Since the community was so involved with sports, I decided to become involved myself. I was the catcher for the baseball team and I was the tight end for the football team. Overall, my experience with Irwin County High School was fantastic. If I was able to go back and start it all over again I would. However, I am excited for my next chapter of life at college....

Senior: I moved to this school around my sophmore year, and I would say the teachers are very nice and actually care about teaching the kids valuable things. However, the resources available for students and sometimes teachers is slim, and can be fixed with proper funding to specific areas (classroom supplies, renovation of building, etc.) rather than what they are used on, like athletics or certain 'bonuses' for staff during school hours....

Alum: Milton High School is the epitome of a truly well-rounded high school experience. The administration advertises the school as a "triple-A school," claiming the equal presence of Arts, Academics, and Athletics. As a student, I can confirm this is an extremely accurate description. I participated in the chorus program all four years, took high-level and superb quality academic courses, and competed with the equestrian for four years as well, acting as captain for two of those years. In my spread across different realms of the school, I am not unique as there are plenty of students who do the same. We are/were supported by the school from all sides, and no element of the school seems overshadowed by another; both the theater and football teams have won state championships or competitions, and students are sent to international science fairs and HOSA competitions yearly just to name a few accolades....

Junior: Despite from what I had previously heard about the high school with its reputation of drugs, I came to realize this was an amazing school that give its students so many wonderful opportunities. I have been going here for 3 years now, and the teachers are some of the most qualified individuals I have seen. Not just the teachers, but the whole staff as a whole is extremely helpful and supportive of students, and they make sure to maximize the success in all teens attending. There are COUNTLESS opportunities offered by McIntosh; work based learning, after school programs, and many extracurriculars including a drone team! There is something for everyone who goes to this highschool, and I am extremely fortunate to attend.... Read 449 reviews

Senior: I love ace! The education is one of the best in Georgia and it is such a valuable school to kids in Macon who’s other options of public school are poor and have insufficient education standards. ACE workload may be tough at times, but it’s important yo remember that it prepares your student for their future college workload. The teachers here (at least in the gifted program) are top-notch. They are passionate about what they teach and care that their students do well. While the rules at times can be frustrating and seem ridiculous, they only teach your child obedience even when it seems unnecessary and overbearing. Overall, ace is a great school and should be high in your consideration when choosing a school for your child.... Read 38 reviews

Senior: I have attended Wheeler County school systems for the entirety of my life. I am now a senior, who will be graduating spring of 2023. Throughout my 4 years attending Wheeler County High School, we have faced many challenges, such as quarantine shut downs due to Covid-19. We have also faced the transitioning from our old school into our new home. We’ve lost lives in both our staff and students, but throughout each of these challenges, one thing remains the same: We stick together and continue to succeed and grow together. Wheeler County school systems is truly amazing and I would not trade any second of my student career there. The administration gives many opportunities for each of the students and they are always making sure to come up with new ways to make our school system better. They provide every resource needed for each individual student and always adjusts to each student’s needs. I am proud to be a 2023 Wheeler County graduate, and I am thankful to be part of such a community.... Read 18 reviews

Senior: Heard County High School is an amazing school to go to. Coming from another school just about thirty miles south that wasn't my cup of tea to the loving system Heard County is was the best thing I could have done for myself. It's a small town, we actually only have one red light. However, It is full of love and people who care about you. All of our administrators love their job, and are happy to help you no matter what. Considering we're such a small town, we take pride in our community and what we stand for. Whether it's a Friday night football game or an event giving away free school supplies, we all come together as a whole. I'm proud of my school and everything we have to offer. I'm forever proud to be a Heard County Brave.... Read 104 reviews

Senior: This upcoming school year I will be a senior at Buford High School and my overall experience has been incredible! I first joined Buford in 6th grade and my first impression was great, the students and faculty are so sweet and truly care about you; the buildings are always spotless thanks to the incredible custodial team; overall everyone is amazing. Along with that the teachers at Buford are truly passionate about what they do and care and check on students throughout the year. Also, academically the school is phenomenal. Personally, it has provided me thousands of opportunities that I have taken with no hesitation. In short, I think that Buford has very well prepared me for what the future holds in my career interest. Also just for fun, we have an incredible football team and Friday nights at Buford are truly amazing with all the support and laughter that goes around. Go Wolves!... Read 297 reviews

Sophomore: Being at Davidson Fine Arts is amazing and I am so glad I had the opportunity to go there. Davidson is a wonderful school if you would love to explore yourself through the arts. I am going into Sophomore year and I have been there since my sixth grade year. Even though in the year you might not like you teacher, afterwards you realize how much of a help they were. Being there has really helped my grades climb. In elementary I was a AB student and now I am a all A student. Going into the fine arts, it is the best! I love all of it. There are some very talented people. I am going through the dance and choral program. There is so much more too, all kinds of arts and theater, instruments, dance, and choral. I have loved this school from the beginning and I look forward to continuing through till i graduate. I can not recommend this school enough and I hope everyone has the same experience that I did and finds themselves through the fine arts at Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School.... Read 402 reviews

Senior: I spent my middle and high school years there and it was interesting with the pandemic and all. I recommend it for people that want to be in a rural type school because it still has a good education, and good IT department that has to deal with a multitude of laptop issues. The administration is good with nice people all around. There are some hilarious teachers and others very good at their profession. There are multiple clubs in the school such as FFA or FBLA. I believe this school has a group for everyone, some towards the band, others towards sports. I believe this school exceeds in it's band group that I have personally seen play. They play exceptionally well whenever I hear them. Overall I recommend the school to any person that wishes to join a rural type school that has a good education for their child.... Read 25 reviews

Senior: It has been a pretty good experience for me. What I would like to see is more diversity in the administration, but it's honestly the students that are the worst part of this school. They don't really listen to the rules which have caused stricter rules. Some of these are limited chances to go to the bathroom, no phones at any time except lunch, and they'll hone on dress code violations. It honestly isn't a bad school.... Read 37 reviews

The methods are usually arranged towards one type of learning and teaching so not very diverse for different type of learners. They have a three strike and your out contract but they are very slack on it and could greatly improve the students interaction with and towards one another because bullying is very huge especially behind teachers in their own classroom and outside the classroom....

Alum: Mtn Education Charter High School is a great option for students who do not thrive in the standard academic environment and schedule. You are able to move at your own pace which is a huge asset for a night school. Meaning, the ability to go as fast or as slow as you wish allows complete control over when you graduate. The faculty was absolutely top tier, and the teachers are the best you can find. I highly recommend for people who need a different avenue to succeed!... Read 25 reviews
