Sandy Springs Charter Middle School

Our experience has been positive overall. This school is worth a look. The school prepares the kids academically and is as rigorous as many private schools. There are a number of families here now that transitioned from area private schools and had a positive experience. New parents should be aware of how your choices in 6th grade might impact where you'll be in 8th grade. It can be difficult to change trajectories halfway through middle school. This would most affect kids switching from schools outside the district or switching from private schools, who might not be aware of how things work here.

8 out 10. No issues with the leadership or teachers. They are always willing to listen and find solutions if an issue exist.

Very happy we selected SSCMS. Our child is pleased to have academics that are paced at the appropriate level to stay challenged but confident. To the extent a student wants to dive deeper into areas of academic or extra-curricular interest, there are drone, robotics, academic bowl, science olympiad clubs and teams available and the teachers who run these clubs donate a lot of their time to the students and take a personal interest in nurturing the students' interests. There's a great soccer, cross country, football and softball team as well and there are opportunities to do Track, Tennis and other sports after school and during PE.

Excellent. We were on the verge of signing up to private school and hadn’t even looked at SSCMS. Thankfully we popped into one of the open houses, then talked to multiple families and staff about the STEAM program and registered for SSCMS. Our child has made wonderful, kind friends with a thirst for learning in the Steam program. So happy!
