2019 Best Schools in Walton CountyAbout this List

George Walton Academy

• Private School
• Monroe, GA
• PK, K-12
• 60

Sophomore: George Walton does a very good job preparing its students for college. Its courses offer a range of academic rigor, from non-honors to AP or BC classes. However, some of the school's teachers, put simply, have not met the standard that the school has upheld since 1969, and that is to give an enthusiastic, thorough, and informed education. Let it be known, though, that the amount of good teachers definitely outnumbers the amount of bad teachers, and these good teachers are committed to educating the youth of our school with boundless enthusiasm. In terms of clubs and extracurriculars, George Walton has many. With such a small student body, though, clubs and sports are often found competing for as many students as possible. On the other hand, our small numbers allow intimate teaching with learning that is semi-cultivated to the individual.

High School Junior: I absolutely adore this school. Not only did I attend, but my brother attended this school as well. We both made fantastic grades and enjoyed going to school everyday! If I had to do it all over again I would absolutely choose this school over any other one because the staff and administration make it a great place to learn.

Parent: As a parent of a 7th and 5th grader, there is no other place I’d want them to attend! LCA is the total package when it comes to academics, faculty, school life, and athletics. My boys have attended here since K5, and they are challenged academically by teachers who truly care about them on a personal level. As I look ahead to their years in high school, I am pleased to see offerings for AP and dual enrollment classes! They're challenged and supported spiritually as they learn about God and deepen their faith. My boys love chapel and Bible classes and how their teachers bring God's word to life for them. There are plenty of sports for them to choose from, including swim team and rodeo! LCA is a family-focused environment where administrators care about the whole child. It is a beautiful and safe campus, which utilizes a school resource officer. If you want a place that consistently strives for excellence in all areas, consider LCA! Come take a tour and see how wonderful it is!

High School Senior: I have had a great experience overall throughout my whole high school career here at this school, I got involved with extra curricular activities right away. This is my fourth year on the color guard marching with the marching band and it is my third year holding a leadership position over the color guard. I have made lifelong friends and memories that will last a lifetime. I don't regret a single thing I did in my time here and all of my teachers have been FANTASTIC.

Alum: Loganville High School is an overall good school that helps prepare students for further education. It offers extracurricular classes that relate to specific career paths, such as engineering, health, cosmetology, etc. Loganville has a great sports program, with and undefeated baseball team and a formerly-undefeated football team. It is ethnically diverse and accommodating as needed. It was very easy for me to make friends and to get involved with clubs and sports. My only complaint is that the counselors have multiple students to deal with, so I felt like I was mixed in with the system and my time there wasn't used efficiently.

Parent: I love the assistant Principle! She is super sweet and really cares about the children. I also love how the teachers reach out regarding things that are happening at school and what I can expect for my child. I would like to see the kids gain life skills in the way the school makes decisions regarding the children when incidents occur. The school should take extra precautions with the way a parent is approached regarding a child's behavior and find better alternatives to the punishments kids receive.

Alum: I graduated from WGHS and loved everything about it! The teachers were all so nice and helpful. When I first started here the sports were almost none existent but by time I graduated we had almost any high school sports team you could want for a small town school. The school was very clean and organized, although the lunch food could have been a little better (think that is any school though). I never felt unsafe or that I couldn't go ask for help. I would highly recommend this school!

Alum: I grew up in a very small town, and went to the city school system my entire life, kindergarten through 12th grade. I grew up with the same group of people, and got to see everyone mature and change and move on from our tiny town. The teachers at Social Circle are all amazing, and we, the students, all thrived on the one-on-one connection we received from being in a small town atmosphere. Every teacher wanted to see us succeed, and gave us the encouragement and knowledge our young minds needed to go on to the great big world. If I had to change one thing about the school, it would be the amount of funding. We never really had the latest and greatest technology, which was somewhat inconvienent. We had a small computer lab, and about 30 laptops in the school at everyone shared. The older schools are starting to have structural issues. With a little more funding, I believe Social Circle City Schools could be every greater than they already are.

Senior: Monroe Area High School is a great school! There are dedicated teachers that come to school excited to see their students achieve. Although the academics are superior and MAHS has the highest AP pass rate in Walton County, there is an academic gap among the students. Either the students are top of the class with 4.0s or the students are below average barely passing courses. I think Monroe Area High School should work to close this gap. Many incentive programs have been implemented and had little affect. Administration and a select group of students should work together to create opportunities for students to encourage them to want to work harder in school.
