Griffin Middle School

In all this school has been ok would I ever send my child to it no, but I have made enjoyed a few teachers who have really impacted my learning growth.

The experience had been great. They have great experienced teachers. My child was recommended for clubs, awards and classes due to academic performance. T

This school needs a better management and new policy. Students should not be bullied by an adult because of her accent. Yet the principal and administrators blame the child because she doesn't know how to pronounce some words. Teachers should not laugh at her.

Extremely satisfied. We are an affluent household (about $200k/year) and quite a few of our neighbors elect to send their kids to private school once they begin sixth grade. And yet, they know nothing about Griffin other than the rumors typically associated with a school that has a significant number of minority and lower-income students. Nor do they bother taking a tour or talking to school administrators and current parents. They don’t learn about the Advanced Content classes or the awesome clubs.That is most unfortunate, because I believe their kids are missing out on precisely what makes Smyrna so great—diversity! If your child comes from a household that has instilled a love of learning and responsible behavior, then they will do just fine. In fact, they will excel. People focus far too much on test scores, when the reality is that these scores are clearly impacted by certain populations far more than others. So if your focus is on your child doing well and you get involved in the school, that enriches our entire community. But if you prefer to sit back and do nothing, by all means uproot your household to the hinterlands of East Cobb or pay Whitefield $20k a year. Griffin is great! We are very pleased.
