Lewis Academy of Excellence
Tracey Robinson: This was a great school. The county closed it down because of politics. The BLACK superintendant really don;t care about our kids. the failing schools remain open. I had to give up my house so i can leave the county. I refused to have my child go to clayton county public school. Lewis Academy was different. Ms. Lewis really cared about the kids.
