As a real estate agent, I can not count how many times my clients and my friends ask me where exactly are the best schools in Atlanta. I wanted a list that was easy to see. I took it upon myself to create that list. The leading website that provide ratings on schools is Greatschools.org. But there are several other websites that provide school rating including:
What area of Greater Atlanta is covered in this list?
This list covers the entire Metro Atlanta area, a total of 31 Counties. Wikipedia provides a list of 31 Metro Atlanta Counties.
If you look for your county and it is not in the list. It means none of the high schools in your county made the list.
Why a list of High schools?
Among the three, elementary school, Middle school and High school, we felt that the High school alone was enough to give us a good indication of the other two. A high school receive students from the local middle school, who received students from the local elementary school. The performance of the high school is a direct result of the performance of the elementary and middle school. A list of best high school is enough to give us an impression of the local elementary and middle schools.
