East Cobb was a little hell-hole, a training ground for the dumpy part of life. There was a lot of…read moreviolence here. There were fights almost everyday. I saw brass knuckles more than a couple times. This is in the suburbs. This is in a community where families are above average in income. They also bring in kids from smaller communities. Kids can fight. My mom is still friends with the a teacher that was here when I went. She was nice. She left East Cobb because there was so much fighting. She had to pull snarling brats off of another all the time. She started to feel uncomfortable even though she'd been at the school for a long time. She likes where she is now much better. I did not like East Cobb. The gym teachers were all supreme dicks. One of them got hit in the face with a golf club once. He was a sassy dude and he one time gave me 3 detentions because I was running in the gym. If I let my kid go here it would only be because I'd want him/her to see how jacked people can be. I would worry about him/her all day while he/she was at school. I would probably prefer he/she went somewhere else. Behind the school there are fields and kudzu.

I suppose it's hard to review your own high school, as it is difficult to distinguish between the…read moremerits of the school itself and your very subjective experience at an absolutely young and stupid age. So, let me be purely subjective and biased about this lovely gem in the woods. During the three years of my enrollment from 1998 to 2001 the teachers here had raised me from an ESL nonnative speaker with promise into a kind of local leader in the subjects of my choice (science and math). The teachers were all competent or excellent, and with some special teachers' dedications to after-school activities (like academic bowl / science club / math club) and the AP curriculum (which can earn you college credits) I was able to find my passion and later my choice of university. It's sad to hear that some of my favorite teachers have since retired including Mrs. Spear and Mrs. Dutter. A shout out to Rowdy Roty if you know what I mean. Oh, and their lunch was always terrible. 2 stars at most.

He has truly blossomed at this school and I can not say enough great things about everyone there.

Most disappointing administrative staff you've ever came across. Employees are hired through…read moreconnections, not based on qualifications or experience. Keith Ball is still the awful dictator that he is, makes empty promises and falsely advocates for his students that need the most help. It should raise an eyebrow when the staff is mostly all white and the students that attend the school are mostly black and brown. And should raise even MORE of an eyebrow when you do your research and see how many Black educators and admin have either left the school or "moved" to a different position/building. Overall, do your research and make sure that you know where you're putting your child for their four years of high school education.

Not on the actual school. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excellent Field and facilities! The stands were the basic metal bleacher (bring your own seat cushion!), there were two nice additions. The first was that there were backs on the bleachers! You don't have to sit slumped over. You can actually lean back against a backrest. The second (and nicest) surprise was that the stands were covered! No worries of sun or rain while watching the game. EXCELLENT!! The field was well maintained. Grounds crew was hustling throughout the game to keep it in good condition. Restrooms were clean and easily accessed. Snack bar was available on a Monday evening game and prices were very fair. Cheeseburger, and order of tasty fries and a bottle of water for under $5. Every person I met was friendly and a credit to MHS. Two thumbs up!! p.s. We won! :)

Puberty peaked for me my freshman year at Centennial High School, and my acne, braces,…read moreuncontrollable hair, and fifty pounds of excess weight did not make for a great start to the high school experience (freshman girls are not the kindest!). I decided to transfer to Riverwood to begin my sophomore year, and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I owe RHS everything for giving me a great education, getting me into an incredible college, and introducing me to incredible teachers I respect and continue to keep in touch with to this day. This experience is not had by everyone, but it can be for those who make it happen. I enrolled in the IB (International Baccalaureate) Diploma program, and it was so rewardingly challenging that it made college an absolute breeze. After coming form a fairly conservative, white, southern high school, I especially liked how Riverwood was extremely diverse, with a popular ESOL program and students coming in from all over different parts of the city. I definitely cannot speak for all of the teachers there, but the ones I had were unforgettable. They truly were meant to be teachers and saw teaching as their life rather than a way to pay the bills. They were also counselors and friends, and one of my teachers senior year actually took time to assist students with questions about applying to college, what schools they should consider, financial aid routes, etc. After spending 40K a year at a private university in DC, I have yet to contact or keep in touch with even one of my professors there; however, I visit Riverwood once a year and email back and forth with my old teachers every few months or so. Riverwood is far, far from perfect. There's constant chaos in the halls, and I was (and still am when I visit now) pushed around and nearly trampled on every time the bell rang. It definitely does not resemble a private school in the slightest, so don't expect that if you ever walk through the doors. My social experience there was fairly nonexistent, but everyone was awesome and friendly. I also can't speak for any non-nerdy afterschool activities like sports, but I enjoyed every club I was a part of (or presidente of, muchas gracias!). I still wear my high school class ring. 'Nuff said.
