I have been associated with the school for seven years. My daughter graduated last year. I see some negative comments about phones being taken up when they went off in class, the school is strict on this to avoid interruptions in the class room. My daughter had hers taken up once, guess what she made sure it was off the remaining years she was there. We had to make a trip up there to retrieve the phone and made sure she understood this would be the last time it happened.The school is proud of the sports programs and the incredible success of them. Allatoona graduates many students every year that receive Athletic Scholarships ranging from Football, Softball, Baseball, Lacrosse, Wrestling, Basketball, Tennis etc.. however I see the coaches interacting with the student athlete to ensure grades are maintained.The dress code is strict (very strict) which is a positive, not a negative. Proper conduct is enforced in classrooms and outside of them at all events. I have seen kids marched out of plays, stadiums etc... for poor conduct.I have a feeling some of these post most likely came from earlier years at the school as I have never heard one student complain about computers (lack there of). As for the technology, glitches happen even with the best equipment. The students will realize this once they are in the Adult world pursuing their careers.The school is eight years old now and looks new thanks to the dedication of the leadership there. No organization or establishment is perfect, however they strive for excellence in all areas.

Cant say I agree with the negative comments about AHS as my (our) experiences has been awesome. I impressed with the attention the administrators give to academics, sports and music. I also like that my child has had the opportunity to travel abroad for spring break, albeit, at an enormous cost. Nonetheless, it provides the children addition exposures to the world around us.The teachers are professional and kind to the students and expect students to always bring their A game no matter the topic.As a military veteran, I am grateful to the faculty and staff for preparing my student for college and life.

More focused on Dress Code and students physical appearance than on the actual learning experience.

Though changes from cobb county may be different then when I was there my experience was good-great. Yes, I can see reasons as to some complaints of strict guidelines with cellphones as now in todays world they are essential to modern life. I could hope for a less strict rules while still having a distract free learning environment. The arts dept is wonderful from Band, marching, jazz, and ensembles. To Orchestra chorus and the theater and other performing arts and the art Department have shown this once new school can produce greatness. May i add the amazing media and film dept at our school as well as the JROTC. As for Athletics it is something to be pride of as well as having wonderful coaches that develop students on and off the feild as well to the Academic Staff. Now the school reaching a decade I am happy to be an alumni of 13 and a Buc. Stay classy Allatoona!

Allatoona High School is not a good school for education, but rather oriented around sports and giving bigger sports like Football a bigger and more significant portion of the budget, rather than paying the teachers that deserve it more. Speaking of which there arent many of those teachers that deserve that.raise either. Mrs. Grover comes into mind as one of the worst most disconnected Teachers at Allatoona High School. She accused my son of doing drugs and reported him to the clinic. The clinic then reported him to councelling which then had the (previous) Principal come in and put his fingers on my sons hand to say his pulse was high... Well of course his pulse was high the principal and all of the administrators are telling my son that he is doing drugs when he isnt!!!! This lasted the whole entire block as well he missed his class because Mrs. Grover had made another awful judgment call which is a common accurance in this school. If you think your child is safe or going to a nice school by attending Allatoona High School your wrong if this message gets far then I will release even more horrifiying stories from this school.

Personally the school itself is very clean and tidy, however the school focuses too much on the physical education then it does the mental/electronic, see my brother went to this school and was in weight training (to which he only got in because he was a football player at one time) and one day he and the class were led out to the developing football field that year and layed out yard after yard of grass to be laid for the year. After they finished that year working in the the hot sun the head administration decided to scrap the entire field and instead put nerf grounds wherever you treaded, this completely made all the work my brother did irrelevant.With that said the principal paid a hefty price for those new fields which the football team rarely uses due to the fact they have another whole practice field, But with all that money to the field they only spent a small percentage on the schools computers. Also I feel as though the principal sometimes only selects teachers with a high degree in college and completely ignores the fact that some of them hate teaching or are just plain socially inept to the point they cannot deal with high schoolers or just ignore them if they are acting up or harassing another student, Everyday I spend at this school I feel as though people are trapped in their shell and cannot express themselves because the students of this school will be completely close minded, ignorant, preppy trash and will shoot down anyone elses opinions or choices in life. 90% of the male students are homophobes and cannot open up to the idea of someone with different preferences in life. Also the Irespond 24 packs that the school bought for us were over $1137.00 dollars, I do not know about you but $1137.00 sounds a bit pricey to get your grade back quicker. Finally the smart boards in every class are not very smart because either A: the projector has a problem or B: the smart board has a problem and the smart board themselves can cost from $6,999 up to $15,999 now with some simple math of every single class room having one of these will get pretty pricey if you ask me. Im not saying this school is absolutely terrible but I am saying there is need for major improvements
