Sandy Springs Middle School

"I've got a rising 8th grader, as well as a child at North Springs High School - i have no doubt this is where they needed to be and are more than prepared for the next step. This middle school had my rising Jr. well-prepared for the honor/AP classes he's taking. The new principal wants his kids to succeed! He has a great staff and has created a whole new energy at the school that is evident as soon as you walk thru the front doors. He is working hard to engage the parents and the local communities to get involved. He's created an open door, approachable environment that makes you want to come to school and learn!"

"Sandy Springs Middle does an excellent job of teaching, inspiring, and communicating with kids of middle school ages 11-14. The principal Dr. Kay Walker has a terrific staff that is hard working and talented."

"The teachers are great. Advanced classes really challenge the kids. Lots of extra curricular activities."

"My son is about to finish his 7th grade year at SSCMS and we have only had positive experiences. He is 13 years old and ADHD. We tried the private school route (GHA, Galloway)... but honestly they (unlike Public Schools) are not mandated to know how to teach a student with my son's challenges. He is very bright and came to SSCMS in the 6th grade and went right into advanced classes. We have a 504 plan for him and I regularly speak, text and email with his teachers when necessary. He is challenged by the curriculum and has a great, diverse social life. The first year I wasn't very involved... but this year I was able to take on more volunteer roles and spend time getting to know the admin. They are a dedicated group of educators who are working on building SSCMS into a top level, superior school for our community. I would suggest to anyone interested... before you decide on a private school, or consider moving to another county... just walk through the doors of Sandy Springs Charter Middle School and see and hear what all the great buzz is about!"

"We are new to SSCMS this year with a sixth grader and are completely thrilled with our child's experience so far. The teachers in his core classes (math/ELA/science/social studies are top notch, with rigorous STEAM Academy and TAG level classes. We're so happy to be part of the SSCMS family and urge others to come take a tour - it's a pretty special place!"
