Response to the person who ranked us low because of masks. Obviously, in hindsight, you should delete your ignorant comment. Etowah did the right thing by opening up. It''s now known how detrimental it was to students who were isolated at that time. It''s a good school. Most kids, if they put in ANY effort at all or have decent parents, will thrive here.

For some reason, they still opened up during the pandemic and are not enforcing masks.

I went here back in 2012 and my teacher assaulted me.
