GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have been going to Stone Mountain High School for two years and the school academics have been at its worst. This school year they have added more teachers with better qualifications. The worst are the students that fight every other day if not week. The school doesn't enforce security the right way. The staff are sometimes careless and only cares if it effects their reputation or the schools'.

What I liked best about Stone Mountain was the college readiness and the teachers, a lot of the teachers were grateful to have me in their classes and I was thankful to have them. What I hated the most was how disorganized and lack of communication the school was.

Moved to this school from Hamilton in Marin County CA... This school reminds me of one of those 90's movies where the principal needs to carry a bat, absolutely the most dangerous place to send your kids. Daily fights, the teachers are just as bad as some of the students, home school before you send...
