Sutton Middle School

The administration is absolutely terrible here. It makes it nearly unbearable to teach. It's unfortunate as the students themselves are terrific but whenever there are discipline problems the administration doesn't want to deal with it. One particular administrator seems to enjoy randomly choosing teachers to harass and then making them so miserable they are forced to resign. It is never a good sign at a school when there is as much turnover as there is at SMS. I can't wait to get out.

Two kids at Sutton with one graduating. I have been overall pleased with the Principal and the staff. Their are plenty of opportunities to involve yourself in the school and the day to day operation. Sutton has been a excellent experience and if APS can get the new North Atlanta off of the ground quickly things will continue.

My son has had 3 great years at Sutton. He found his niche early on. Our second son is excited to join Sutton next year. All the teachers know our child by name and even the Principal knows us all. For such a large population we feel it is truly a neighborhood school!!

I have a child in 6th grade and it has been a very difficult year so far. I am very disappointed! Some the teachers have no control of their classroom. Nothing like elementary. Very difficult to reach the principal.

It is a great school filled with fantastic kids and wonderful opportunities!

Really love the School and the Diversity. Glad to have my child attend there. The Staff is Wonderful.

I love the interaction between parents teachers and students. They have excellent programs. Helping hands were parents volunteer there time to come and help the teachers and staff. Also hall monitoring. The have Wellness embassier for the student. That is on a student to student level. The school is just awesome! Everyone there has an important role that has been done well!

This DIVERSE school has ALLf the trimmings of a well run private school. Also the parent participation as well as community leader's participation puts Sutton Middle School at the top of any school list!

My son entered the 7th grade at Sutton this year after attending private school K-6. Our experience has been outstanding. The school is well organized communicates incredibly well with Parents has excellent teachers who are committed to providing challenging classes and encouraging critical thinking. Sutton is an excellent middle school and strong example of a successful public school.

Sutton Middle School is filled with diversity with an international approach to teaching. I am proud to be a teacher in Atlanta Public School.

My child is a 6th grader at Sutton and loves it. The diversity is terrific among students and faculty. Ms. Sofianos is an outstanding principal. The PTA is incredibly active and involved through volunteer time and donations. This is a wonderful public school and I am so glad we are a part of it. My child gets a great education and we only have to pay once for it ... through taxes not tuition.

It's given my son every conceivable opportunity to learn and grow as an intelligent young man.

Sutton Middle School has a caring and innovative staff. The PTA is very involved in helping teachers and students get the most out of each day. Students are happy and well-rounded with a vast amount of opportunities available to them which are not found at most other schools.

Great Parental involvement and wonderful teachers and admin.

The teachers work hard to challenge the students and make them think. The principal is upbeat and welcoming to the community. The student body is diverse thus allowing children to learn to work well with people different from themselves. There are also many extra-curricular activities which allow students to expand their horizons.

Sutton provides the academic challenge and tools needed in order to be a successful student and citizen.

I believe Sutton Middle to be a great school where students are challenged and the teachers/staff/ adminstration truly care about the students. It's a school that embraces parent participation and ideas. The students are able to participate in a number of activities in outside of studies. The diverse intramural program adds to the comradery of the student body. Among the teaching staff there are many shining stars.

I love sutton so much. Im a sixth grader there and its so much fun everyday. I learn alot and the teachers are funny and nice. Im so sad im moving! sutton rocks!

Sutton Middle is a great school. The staff and teachers are extremely supportive. My son really enjoys school. My older son also attended Sutton and will graduate from college this month. Middle school is a transitional period and Sutton provides the necessary understanding and support that young teens need during this phase of their lives.

This school has opened up incredible opportunities for my son. The staff is awesome there is tremendous parent involvement and my son has fluorished in the Arts. I am so thankful to have found this school. It has been a great ride. I can't wait to see what 8th grade has to offer.
