What Are the Best Public Schools in the Greater Atlanta Area?
April 28, 2008
What are the best public schools in Atlanta? We get asked every day.
Buyers relocating to Atlanta want information on public schools before they decide where to look for a home. Doug, a buyer relocating from Birmingham voiced the same question on Trulia Voices.
daughter. She will be entering 5th grade, and I presume we will need to live in the school district zoned for the school if we expect her to be eligible to attend any particular public school. On the surface, your question seems simple enough. And yet, Atlanta is so much larger than Birmingham, a list is not enough to tell you what you want to know.
You also want a house in your price range, with a “reasonable” commute, located in a strong school district.
- In what part of Atlanta will you be working?
- Are you open to a 45-minute commute?
- What style of house is best for you and your family?
- Is your price range less than $350K? More than $500K?
- Do you prefer an urban or suburban lifestyle?
Answers to these questions enable us to better answer your question about school districts.
We could say the Higgledy-Piggledy district is the highest ranking in Atlanta. And yet, if housing prices start at $600K and your price range is $300-350K, the information is meaningless.
With all that said… to help our clients, we have made The Report Card for Parents available.
The Report Card for Parents is primarily designed to give parents information about their schools. It also provides valuable information for discussions that will help parents make informed decisions about the quality of public schools in Georgia.
The testing and evaluation of Georgia’s children generate an enormous amount of statistical data. The Report Card for Parents transforms this mountain of data into an understandable ranking of Georgia’s public schools.
Review the school reports to become familiar with the area. Then, ask us to help put the information in perspective.
