This school does not care for my sons education. They constantly put him in iss and cause him to miss class which lowers his grades. They can’t wait to send him to alternative school for minor offenses and I don’t feel this school cares about my sons education. This school needs teachers that are trained in dealing with children with add or adhd. This school is not and are letting my sons education down everyday. I can’t afford these expensive schools and my son is not being treated fairly and there also forgetting he is left handed. This school has caused me as a parent nothing but worry and emotional stress because there constantly negative about my son. Close Quote

The administration was non existent. Students run this school and so do the parents. There are zero consequences for students. Students made sure a teacher was removed from their position and told me i was "next". Rural white racist town with those poor uneducated views. Blue Ridge is a small town that does not welcome "outsiders" or anyone from the "awful" city of Atlanta. The most awful experience teaching here and zero diversity all white with the exact same views. Close Quote
