The worst school in Muscogee County. The principal Ms Hamilton is unprofessional with a attitude problem. Hamilton constantly picked on my child while attending. She would always go to my childs classroom just to find her wrong doings. She would also single my child out of everybody in the class. Hamilton told lies saying that she would be the last one to leave the school everyday after school. The staff just be all over the place. They call your phone about every little thing. The staff is unprofessional as well. They dont do right with registration. My child been in school since the beginning of the year and now they are telling me she cant return until she have some form done. Which they never told me about the form until a couple days ago. They withdrew my child because of her vaccines paperwork had her name spelled wrong. Which was the form they overlooked at registration. After correcting with her doctors they did not allow my child to return to school after they said they would. Their after school pick up is not safe for the kids. Really anybody can pick your child up all they need is your car number to make copies of it. So the school wouldnt really know who picks your child up.
