Southern Fulton Junior-Senior High School

best school i've ever been to. small, fun, and a very excellent education i went there for a few years but unfortunately had to move to a different near by school that is just ridiculously easy as in the education was horrible, i wanted to go back to southern fulton because my new school wasn't challenging enough i dont even have to really try to get A's. only bad part of sf is that they no longer have football. i would recommend sending your kids to this school.

I just graduated from this school. But the "last name" thing is really bad but I will say the teachers there are for the most part really nice and a lot of them will you help you with your school work if you need help. Also since it's a small school you get the one on one attention you need for the most part the teachers know you by name since it is after all I single A school. I do however agree with some previous posts about adding AP classes but they do have CP which is college prep you don't actually get any college credit for them but it does help out in the long run. And basketball is the most important sport there is there. But all in all it is a good school. Just be aware of the "last name" thing.

I went to SF all of my school career. The elementary was good as I remember it, but the high school definitely had its problems. Others have mentioned the 'last name' issue-- it's definitely true. I didn't have a right last name, so mostly I was overlooked. While fine with me, it certainly bothered others and is something to watch for. A had a few great teachers, mostly good teachers, and a few that weren't good. Most of them try their best, but they're limited by the school board, the principal at the time I was there (he's since left), and the missteps of the Department of Education. A major problem is the loss of various tech and trade classes. There's no problem with being a "college" school, as others have said, but there does need to be more variety. Whether you go to a 4-year university, community college, trade school, or directly in the workforce, you should have classes available to you for that path. I know cost is an issue, but SFHS should at least try. Many of my classmates went into the military just so they could have a chance at a higher education or to get some skills. They shouldn't have to do that. All in all, it could be worse, but it could be much better.

I went school here 9th-12th grade. The previous post that mentions nepotism is right on point. It is extremely important to have the "right" last name. This starts at the school board level and trickles down. Two teachers I had really prepared me for collegiate level, thank goodness for them. I experienced bullying from students and teachers, with no consequences to either. As a "new" student (or "move-in" as I was called) the cards were stacked against me as I had no family connections to use to my advantage. For this school to be competitive with the leading school districts, it needs a serious overhaul of those who implement change. School desperately needs AP courses of collegiate level prep. I have also seen MANY people get passed over for jobs for people with the "right" last name...people far less qualified and capable. Luckily I made it out with a decent enough education to graduate from a D1 university. Those who relied on their "family connection" rarely made it that far. All in all, SFHS needs some serious change to their standards and policies for their graduates remain competitive. I would never send my child here.
