Walton High School

Sophomore: I am currently a sophomore here. Although the academics are extremely challenging, especially for taking all honors classes, I know I’m actually learning something in life. New school is cool, academics and athletics are great, and it is nice to know we go to one of the hardest schools/best schools in the state and even top in the country!

The Walker School

• Private School
• Marietta, GA
• PK, K-12
• 73 reviews

Parent: We have been a Walker family for four years. We have had our typical middle school mishaps and stumbles, but we are so thankful for a small environment to use the mishaps as teachable moments to allow for growth and character development.

While we loved our neighborhood public schools, but both my children as they were closer to approaching middle school felt they weren’t being “heard” and were losing their love of learning. A neighbor had been telling us for years to check Walker out. When my daughter did her shadow day she was sold! The lunch offerings didn’t hurt either!

Walker not only offers a top tier academic environment for children to thrive across all divisions, but they are the embodiment of a true family atmosphere. The administrators and staff work closely to ensure that each child’s unique offerings have a place at Walker.

Mount Paran Christian School

• Private School
• Kennesaw, GA
• PK, K-12
• 200 reviews

Parent: My family has been part of the MPCS community for going on sixteen years, and there is NO PLACE LIKE MPCS! Everything is done with excellence and love and Christ-centeredness. The academics, athletics, arts, facilities, chapels, technological advancements, faculty, administrators, and even the food are the BEST! Graduates are well-rounded and feel incredibly prepared for college and can defend their faith in God. The study-abroad opportunities and mission trips offer amazing chances to discover the world and learn about other cultures. The student body and staff are becoming more and more diverse each year - a testament to the family atmosphere. I am proud to be involved with this school - especially as they launch into building an innovation center for high school that is likely to achieve national recognition. The tuition isn't cheap, but it's a worthy investment into the intentional development of the children - spirit, body, and mind.

Whitefield Academy

• Private School
• Smyrna, GA
• PK, K-12
• 126 reviews

Parent: My husband and I wanted our children to grow up in an environment that reinforced what was being taught at home and church. Our decision to apply to Whitefield was based on the student-teacher ratio; the arts and athletic programs; and the strong academic college-prep curriculum. With Whitefield being a covenantal Christian school we knew this was the BEST school for our family. During our children’s attendance, Whitefield taught our children to put Christ at the center of everything. The school is not an "in-your-face, Bible scripture dropping" environment. The faculty encourages the student to reflect the word of God in THOUGHTS and ACTIONS. The academic rigor of the curriculum prepared both of our children. Our daughter has a Masters in Nursing and works as a Pediatric ICU nurse and our son will be attending Georgia Tech. Whitefield provided everything we were looking for in a school and MORE! As parents, we feel the true value of the education our children received is priceless.

North Cobb Christian School

• Private School
• Kennesaw, GA
• PK, K-12
• 92 reviews

Parent: This precious school has made the biggest difference in the lives of my three kids, who are currently in 1st, 4th, and 7th. This place is family - it sincerely is. From the perspective of a parent with a master’s degree in education, NCCS is unmatched with regards to a commitment to Christian education, excellent academics, strong athletics, and a robust arts program. The teachers are top notch. My middle school son went from being a reluctant reader to naming Language Arts as his favorite subject - thanks to his amazing teacher! He initially wanted to come to NCCS so that his teachers would “care about him”— his words — and now he says they absolutely do. North Cobb Christian School is a true family. You feel it the moment you enter: The teachers, families and staff at North Cobb Christian School are the real deal!

Senior: Wheeler high school is an outstanding school. The teachers at Wheeler high school are excellent! They make sure no student is left behind in class and offer many different types of tutoring sessions.The students are all very uplifting to one another and wish success to all their peers. The schools diversity teaches other students how to respect each others cultures, race and religions.

Pope High School

• Cobb County Schools, GA
• 9-12
• 344 reviews

Senior: I love how kind the teachers and counselors are. They enjoy what they do and genuinely want to see their students succeed! I also like how many opportunities Pope has to offer. There are so many clubs and successful sports teams, and you can participate in pretty much whatever you want if you're willing to put the time and effort into it! Not to mention that the students at Pope are so kind and inclusive as well! I've met some of my closest friends at Pope, and some of the teachers have helped me get through some really hard times. Something I think could be improved on is the administration. They can be so selfish and mean that even most of the teachers don't like them. The admin at Pope can be unfair and power hungry, treating students as if they were in elementary school instead of young adults. Again, even some of the teachers have complained, saying that the admin have been cold to them as well.

Parent: My son is in third grade. So far we were happy with all of his teachers. Principal Appleyard is amazing, working hard to keep our school at the top. PTA is doing great things for school and community.
There is pretty good international diversity but not as much economic diversity as house pricing around it is high.
