One of the fascinating things about it is that you have a small faction that view the rest of the school population as being too inferior (often the kids who want to go to Riverwood or private school) on one end of the spectrum; another small faction of reckless, stereotypical, "inner city students"; and a large gray area in between. It forces anyone who attends to reassess their views on people they might not be used to dealing with, and unfortunately some of the students from Buckhead are too scared of the students from "down south" (who are quite harmless regarding people they don't know) to realize what a great asset this school is.
The academics are actually decent if you are in the magnet program. Something that should be done is to ensure that the people in the rest of the school at least have access to rigorous courses. There are some affluent families from the district that give their wholehearted support to the school, and I applaud them. If the rest of the community would follow their lead without forcing the "inner city" students to leave, then it definitely has the potential to be one of the best schools in the state and perhaps the country.
