Junior: As a current junior at GSMST, I can say first-hand that it is truly such an amazing school to prepare students for college and even for life after college! With an extremely rigorous and demanding curriculum, students learn valuable time management and cooperative skills. For any students living in Gwinnett who are considering attending this school, I would completely recommend it if you're looking to challenge yourself and grow to be stronger academically. We Are GSMST!... Read 484 reviews

Junior: I would say my overall experience with my current school Alpharetta High School is good! I am a rising junior and a first generation in my family and before coming in to high school I didn’t know anything especially managing my schedule or how important extracurricular were, but had many people help me. What I would like to see a change is in more help for those first generation kids who are struggling having an extra support without judgment.... Read 532 reviews

Senior: If the performing and fine arts interest you, Savannah Arts Academy might be the place for you. Between the performances, galleries, and student made films, SAA is always lively. SAA is such a staple in Savannah that the annual Junk to Funk fashion show, in which I along with many more students create and participate in, and film fest have become prominent attractions in the Savannah entertainment industry. Not only do you learn new skills, but you also are given opportunities to meet people in the art world, work with professionals, become published artists or performers, and much more. The teachers and students are like one huge family where everyone wants everyone to succeed, so the support system is never ending.... Read 615 reviews

Senior: When looking at Chattahoochee overal, I would say it is a very good high school that can fit most needs of students. There are classes that vary to support classes, on level, honors, to AP classes. So wherever a student lands, there'll be classes that can push an individual's academic skills further. There are also a variety of varsity sports, baseball, football, tennis, golf, wrestling, basketball, track & field to name a few. In addition there are also a lot of the arts. For the music, there are Different bands/percussion ensembles, orchestra classes, piano, guitar, chorus. Most students will have the opportunity to take a career tech class, classes that are more focused on specific areas, such as computer science, and engineer, graphic design, as well as some medical focused classes....

Junior: I love Atlanta Classical Academy! The teachers are amazing and the school really prepares you for college. However, If you decide to send your child to this school, make sure they TRULY understand how to study. The downfall of many new students at ACA is that when they enter the school (freshman year for ex.) they tend to expect that the grading system and the rigour of work will be the same as their previous school. I would say in order to do well at ACA you must study hard because the curriculum can be intense at times. One critique I would give the school is that the staff is not diverse. As a POC at ACA, having teachers who look like you and can relate to racial problems that may occur at school is very important. However, I believe ACA is currently hiring a more diverse staff for the upcoming school years.... Read 15 reviews

Senior: I love Cambridge High School. The interaction among students, faculty, staff and others to include volunteers is outstanding. When I initially began as a Freshman, I had a slight fear. But it took a short period of time for me to realize nothing had changed since my middle school days. There has always been awesome communication and understanding despite the circumstances. The office staff is very knowledgeable and friendly regardless of semester or time of year. I couldn’t ask for a better school system if I tried. I just wish and pray that my children are blessed with the same in the future!... Read 187 reviews

Alum: My experience could be described averagely as “pretty good.” The student body is fine and large enough where you can find a group pretty easily. There are many academic opportunities like dual enroll/ AP classes - take advantage of them. Taking any classes that aren’t AP/ honor classes is less than ideal b/c of poor teaching and staff, and the mindset that those students won’t pass class from day one. So if possible try to stay out of those classes. Most kids here are privileged (economically, racially), so if you are a minority student, like me, you will need to give them lots of grace since they will not ever understand certain situations. The fine arts department is the strongest link at North, there are tons of resources being poured into this department (unless they decide to give it all to their “poor” football team again). Tip 1: There are not adequate foreign language programs here, don’t waste your time. Tip 2: Join the yearbook/ journalism courses, you’ll never regret it.... Read 259 reviews

Once you pass sophomore year, there’s a lot more flexibility with your classes, which is nice. Often, the administration is willing to work with you on your schedule, parking, and grades. Most of the teachers there genuinely want you to succeed. The fine arts programs are also amazing!... Read 554 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 25 reviews

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....

Senior: It’s a great school! The teachers are helpful and friendly. The sports are okay, some are better than others. The whole dynamic is based off of grades and academics, which can be tough at some times. The community is wonderful and there are a variety of clubs to join to get involved. Homecoming week is really fun with the parade, dance, pep rally, and football game. I think McIntosh is a good school for those looking to do many things while still achieving a good education....

Senior: Buford High School is one of the best high schools in Georgia for a variety of reasons. Many in Buford refer to it as a "college campus" due to its grandiose design, but more importantly, the school's "Triple-A Excellence" exceeds expectations. Buford High is the top AP school in Georgia, and it covers all costs for AP testing so that all students, regardless of socioeconomic background, can have a chance to excel academically and show their efforts. The high school's high-quality education extends to more than just its AP classes, however, as they pull from a pool of the best teachers in the nation, including the teachers of their numerous career tech pathways. Its arts offerings are also incredible, with a variety of theater, dance, and art classes, while the athletic programs are very competitive, with all but one team making it to their championship in the 2022 school year. Overall, an amazing experience. Go Wolves!... Read 277 reviews

Junior: When I came to Northview I couldn't speak english very well but they have a special class for ESOL student and there are some benefits for them for example In the history classes we have a teacher that help us to understand the chapter better and explains everything that we don't understand, in general all the teachers are nice and they explains everything to us slowly so that we can understand also the counselor helps me a lot, she told me about the graduation requirement and how I can get to the good colleges. Also Northview has a lot of clubs I personally join to the chess club and they registered us for the tournaments. Northview Gave us each chromebook which make our job a lot easier we don't have to carry a lot of book with ourselves and all the books are available online. At the end I love going to school when my is school is Northview!... Read 653 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 150 reviews

Alum: I had left private school to get a public school experience, and I’m really happy with choosing South Forsyth High School for my last 2 years of high school. I went to South for 2 years and overall had a very great experience. The staff and teachers were very kind and very helpful. If I ever had a question or needed extra help, the teachers were always open to help me. That’s something I was scared about going from a small school to a big school, but South did just that for me and ended up with honor roll! I definitely recommend going to South Forsyth High School if you want a great education and have a great high school experience :)... Read 624 reviews

Parent: I love that PCA focuses on the whole child. Academics are very important there, but they realize that there is so much more to a student than just how "smart" they are. They show this by focusing on character and community every day through Crew. They also show it by how they reward honors such as Val/Sal, Senior Superlatives, and Junior Marshals. The look at GPA, Dual Enrollment (college classes taken), school involvement (through extra-curriculars), community service, and showing the PCA Way. Students are valued at PCA for so much more than just a "score". That is why I love PCA!... Read 31 reviews

Alum: Though the students weren't the best (in fact, I often isolated myself because I felt I didn't "fit in"), the staff and faculty were the most supportive bunch of people—some of the best ones I've had in my life. When things got tough, I knew I could always walk into the counselors' hall, greet the desk associate, Ms. Deb, hold a conversation with her, and wait for my school counselor to let me into her office. Some people feel as though they can't express their true personality or their struggles to their teachers, etc., but I find that's not the case for me, which is something I've 100% come to appreciate....

Senior: It has a good academic program, and provides many opportunities for college/career planning. Its size allows for there to be a good relationship between students and teachers there, and it also allows them to work one-on-one with many of the students if they need help with something in one of their classes. Trion High School has a very good campus, and is clean and orderly in the halls and in the classrooms. It also has a computer lab to make the internet and online courses available to students easier. Trion High School also has aa good library and will buy new books that are requested from the students, giving the students the opportunity to read many different books as they want to. The school also has a good sports/extracurricular program, with a good football team. It had a band program, along with a bass fishing team, and has recently spent money to build a brand new high school gym in the recent years. They also have well-kept baseball fields and tennis courts for the students.... Read 91 reviews

Sophomore: I love Pope because of the great atmosphere, and the way people are committed to learning. I have had great teachers here! They really engage with you and want you to succeed. I usually get to school 20 minutes early and my first period math teacher and I have great conversations! She is really open, and she listens to what I have to say. I also had a great Spanish teacher last year who recently retired, but she will always be one of my favorites. Also, we also have really great sports teams and extra curricular activities! Of course, Pope isn’t perfect, but I do like the constant efforts from the faculty to make it a wonderful learning environment!... Read 391 reviews
