My child is a new student to this school. She was only there for 4 days before she was jumped by other students. My daughter called me EVERYDAY of the 4 days she was there to let me know that the students there were taunting her. I advised my child to reframe from any unnecessary issue that may occur. I also made her aware that she was the new kid on the block and all attention would be on her because she is a beautiful young lady, and that she should ignore any statements made. This went on for 3 days in a CLASSROOM in which the teacher never introduced herself or made us aware of the classroom curriculum, none the less no one at the school gave us any information in reference to the school i.e. handbook or anything, they just made her a quick schedule and sent her on her way . My child got in a fight on the 4th day at this school and the staff was VERY nonchalant about the situation like this happens everyday, which is sad. They proceeded to say that my child was the problem because she engaged in the arguments. One of the admins even treated me as if i was a student attending the school by shaking his head the hole time im trying to explain my concerns. It was also evident that the staff shows favoritism towards certain students and they engage in conversation with the students like they are friends of the family or something. The hole time i was there i seen OVER 20 students roaming the halls and staff walk right by without asking questions. Now granted my child did put on a scene but this was only after she was provoked for 3 days, she stood her ground and let the other students know that she was NOT afraid of them and she would stand her ground need be, because she was NOT going to be bullied, harassed, or taunted because she was a new student, and she was suspended. This school needs a hell of a lot a work from parents students and staff in order to get this school where it needs to be. If students dont do what they are suppose to do and parents don’t get involved , and staff only comes to work to clock in to get a pay check this school will remain at low standards. The test scores are extremely low and the reviews are over whelming. Please do your research before leaving your child in this dangerous environment because the staff gives off the impression that they don’t care and they are just dealing with what has been sent to them. It’s terrible. The principal even mentioned to me on the 4th day he had to step in during a issue with my child the prior day, but I was not informed of ANYTHING until the day of the fight. Ridicules GET IT TOGETHER TOWERS HIGH read your own reviews which says a lot about the students, staff, and parents

Very dissapointed in the administration. Particularly the Principle. Who lied to the news channel about contacting the parents about the incident that happened with the guys having the guns on campus. I do NOT feel safe with my child being there. We weren’t notified about our children and if this happens again, how will I know except from finding out from my child. Administration needs to do better. But i’m not going to find out if they are doing better. My child is out to a better school who informs parents of emergencies like this. And yes the teachers take their time submitting grades on the Infinite portal. How are you suppose to keep up with your childs grades and they are not put in on time. VERY SLACK.. FIND A BETTER SCHOOL. DEKALB COUNTY SCHOOLS PAY ATTENTION.. HIRE BETTER QUALIFIED PEOPLE WHO DON’T LIE TO PARENTS.

My child have attend Towers High School for three years now. Every time I step in the office not just the staff greet me the students coming in and out the office do as well. Rather I email or phone the staff for any reason, I receive a reply promptly. I have experience noting but professionalism and family hospitality when from Towers High School Staff. The staff commutation, I rate them a 10. I am on a parent email/text list. This keeps me updated when my son has a quiz or a test. Do to a Towers High School assisting me with my son’s success in his education. My son has been an honored student from the day he begun Towers High School. Thank you Staff of Towers High School, please…Keep up the good work.
