Peach County High School

As a former student, I can speak from personal experience about this school. As the other review has stated, this school system is more concerned about their football team than anything else in the school. So many excuses are made up for the players who do poorly in classes (I've heard plenty of players brag about it) that it's pathetic. The incompetent teachers outnumber competent teachers by miles. Off the top of my head, I can only name about 10 teachers that I had in all of my four years as teachers who truly cared about their students successes and what they learned. Most of my teachers couldn't teach or didn't teach at all. I had teachers who would tell you what pages to look at and do whatever work they assigned, but classes like math were not taught. They just assumed you could teach yourself. Students ended up teaching other students in the class, but then if we failed our EOCTs or any other tests, the teachers would lecture us about how they work too hard for students who don't care about their grades or their future. Many students have reported teachers, but they go unanswered. Some teachers treated their classes like parties. I'm in my fourth year of college and I can tell you now that Peach County had me nowhere near the level I needed to be in during my first year. I had to take remedial math twice in my first year. I had to get four tutors for four different subjects and still managed to drop from a 3.8 GPA in PCHS to a 1.80 GPA in college. I worked my butt off at PCHS to try and learn my material for homework that was almost never graded, lessons hardly taught unless you had the right teacher, and most of the time, the better teachers belonged to all gifted/AP students. If you weren't gifted, tough luck. If you made it into AP, you had your work cut out for you, but both of my AP teachers helped me in every possible way that they could and if I could thank them for their hard work right now, I would. I am totally angry at this school because as hard as I worked to be prepared for college, I almost flunked out my first year and had to relearn everything they should have taught me in the first place. It's pathetic when your professors literally tell you how sorry they are for you getting such a bad education. On top of their poor education, they have the worst support system if you're a student who gets bullied. Only three people on staff supported me and it had to take a death threat against me for it to reach the principal's attention.

If you are a parent and you are reading this, do not send your children here. It's not worth it!

The leaders are more concerned about athletics and make excuses for academic failures. Bizarre attitude.
