Nearly all of my teachers have been excellent, communicating the information well, challenging us intellectually and creatively, and helping us to think outside the box. However, most of my experience is with the gifted teachers. Also, the extra curriculars are great, sports and otherwise! Fine arts are excellent, too. If you're looking for a free (besides taxes) school, McIntosh is pretty much as good as it's gonna get in Georgia. Close Quote
