Alum: I loved how engaging the staff and students are, and there really is something there for everyone! They don't focus on sports like many other school do, and they provide many activities and extracurriculars there. They have amazing debate, math, lacrosse, volleyball, and golf teams. They also have wonderful clubs for people who enjoy languages, art, theater, music, science and other things. Overall it was amazing, and I really enjoyed my time there!

Parent: My daughter is 8 now and in the 3rd or 2nd grade. She has been in 4 elementary schools. While attending Hannan she has shown the most improvement; she now has a voice, as a family we are able to go different places now. The teachers and resources are absolutely incredible. If I didn't give a
5 ⭐ rating it's only because we haven't got there yet.

Midland Middle School

• Muscogee County Schools, GA
• 6-8
• 1 review

Senior: Although Midland has its own flaws as all public schools will have, I think that its good sides are often overlooked by outsiders. For example, nowhere else will you find teachers that are as close-knit with the students than Midland. Teachers will actually care for their students and form relationships with them, and if the students make the initiative, no teacher will EVER decline to help you improve your academics. There is also a program through Midland that provides a wonderful college preparatory curriculum, which is free of charge. Students will be shuttled up to the Kirkwood regional center- about 30 minutes away- where they will have the opportunity to complete actual college courses like Composition I. All and all, Midland is a wonderful school that has room for improvement but will always hold a place in the heart of those who attend it.

Early College Academy of Columbus at Waverly Terrace

• Muscogee County Schools, GA
• 9-12
• 52 reviews

Senior: Attending Early College was one of the best decisions I have ever made concerning my education. Because it was so small, it was easier to get one on one help with teachers. Everyone knew each other, and there was a pretty friendly atmosphere. Early College offered us a once in a lifetime opportunity to complete an associates degree in college whilst still attending high school! It was a wonderful experience. The only downside is that because of how tiny the school is, we often did not receive the same recognition or respect from other high schools, official, people, etc. We didn't have sports either, however we were allowed to partner with a handful of high schools; they were kind enough to allow our students to join their sports teams.

Middle School Student: I just graduated from Dixie and let me tell you what I think about the school, I love it. The teachers and staff are the kindest people I've ever met. Dixie is one of those small schools with a big impact. I recommend your child going to Dixie if you do not want a big group of students. I will really miss all the teachers and studets at Dixie.
