- the IB program is fantastic, but the "regulars" of the school are incompetent and do not speak in anything other than ebonics- horrid vocabulary and rather limited diction. the people are very rude and the rich east cobb IB students look down on the students- and for good reasons. Hardly anyone there (other than IB students) have any proper class.

Ilike the hthe Grasshopper, Ladybug, Mrs. Spider,Centi-pede,Earth-Worm,the 2 aunts, and James the most. All of them are just wonderful, they all did a good job!!!!!!!!!!

- This school has its problems, but it is actually a fairly good school academic wise. The IB program is excellent and if you are willing to learn, you learn. It has changed a lot since the 70s. The teachers are well qualified and extremely intelligent. But, I guess it's all a matter of viewpoint.

- I graduated from Campbell HS, Smyrna in 1975 and it sucked then. Stupid jocks were king on the campus and many of the students were snobs. The coaches taught history, geography, and driver's ed and they tended to not know the subjects very well - and the bonehead athletes got good grades no matter what. Most good teachers did not stay long due to the incompetence of the school administration. The Principal and Vice Principal usually were coaches or former coaches. The entire South was big on athletics to the extreme and Campbell High of Smyrna was no exception. We were also "encouraged" to attend Christian assemblies during school hours, usually sponsored by local Baptist churches. The separation of church and state was just a minor inconvenience for the fundamentalists running the schools of Cobb County. I am so glad I don't have to live in that area any more.
