Senior: The Westminster Schools is a great institution for a high schooler's education. The teachers are great, the school spirit and athletic department is exceptional, and each student graduates fully prepared for college and a future career. It is not completely perfect, however. Diversity is not the best at Westminster from a percentage standpoint, and it does not seem that much is done about it. The school also puts each student under intense pressure to succeed, which has caused many burnouts by junior year. Although they have the Wellness Center for emotional support, nothing of substance is done to prevent the overwhelmingly large amount of students that cannot sustain the unnecessary intensity of this school. Finally, the performing arts program is greatly under-resourced and is in need of better facilities (classrooms, music stands, instruments, etc.) Westminster is a great school overall, providing students with a brilliant education, with some flaws...Read 187 Reviews

Alum: There is no other school like Pace Academy. It is truly such an amazing place. I attended Pace 9th-12th grade, and wouldn't have changed it for anything. I had so many incredible experiences and grew so much as a person, inside and outside the classroom. Pace is a truly special place in that it offers a nurturing and supportive environment while also being academically rigorous, and encourages students to become involved in a wide range of activities and broaden their horizons. ...The Pace faculty is unmatched. Teachers are incredibly dedicated to their students success, not only academically but as a whole person. Teaching students to build relationships with their teachers is a very important part of the Pace experience. ...I felt fully supported in everything that I was involved in at Pace.

Parent: We transferred our children to CLS early in the Pandemic from MCPS to receive in-person schooling so we can continue to work. The amount of dedication and selflessness the staff and teachers displayed during this challenging and stressful time was a testament to their pride in their work and love of God. ...The quality in the schooling is good. Cursive, hand writing, language arts and grammar were deficient in the public schools and I was grateful that it is emphasized here. There was a lot of catching up for my kids! Living a life of good character is discussed regularly. ...My older child’s math did not grow much this year but it was because he was in accelerated math and this is not available at the school. I hope this can change. We are keeping both our children in this school this coming year.Read 50 Reviews

Parent: My girls have been in FSA for 4 years and just started their high school journey. This is an amazing school with great academics, engaging faculty and administrative team, and wonderful hardworking students. It’s also a super safe environment where all culture and diverse background are celebrated and cohabiting harmoniously. Academic competition does exist but in a friendly and positive manner. My girls constantly review and study with their friends prior to tests and exams. Students also share notes, learning tips, and even offer to help their classmates on subjects they have advanced knowledge of. The school is also working really hard on sports teams and trying to expand the art program. Student clubs and leadership opportunities are abundant and academic competition is a must for everyone. My girls have grown into confident and hardworking young adults in this super safe environment. Will recommend the school!...Read 69 Reviews

Alum: I entered Paideia in eight grade. The biggest difference between Paideia and my old school was the the focus on the arts. Paideia has great musical and visual arts facilities. Something else very noticeable about Paideia is the amount of free rein the school gives it teachers in the classroom. Teachers are allowed to choose what topics they want to cover over the semester; they're also given a lot of choice in how they want to teach that topic. Much of the education I received there (except for a handful of classes) strayed from any standard state or federal curriculum. I was able to receive a very unique and wholistic education there. Preparation for AP tests can be a little lacking though, there aren't as many AP classes offered as there would be in most high schools. The school is also not as racially diverse as most schools in Georgia, but it does make genuine efforts to confront racial issues in an educational setting. The school also has a phenomenal college prep department...Read 65 Reviews

They noticed when my daughter wasn't having the best day, especially as she transitioned to a new school in the midst of a pandemic.Her teachers (especially Miss Cato) took an active role in making her feel at home. She was challenged but never discouraged.The diversity (in all facets of that word) is there. With the extensive bus system, she meets people from all over Atlanta and surrounding areas. This can be hard when it comes to playdates, but it is worth it. ...She moved from another independent school where sports was a career for the students.

Parent: This is our family’s fifth year at Lovett, and we couldn’t be happier with the education that our children are receiving at this special school. The faculty is outstanding and dedicated, including in the fine arts. The curriculum is rigorous, forward thinking, and innovative. Starting in the lower school, Lovett students are taught to be critical thinkers who are comfortable being challenged and to think outside the box. We are constantly impressed by the school’s leadership. Also, we appreciate that Lovett incorporates service learning into many aspects of the curriculum, developing students who want to go out and make a difference in our city, country and world. In addition, Lovett makes a concerted effort to be inclusive of all families at the school. For example, there are chapel services for the major holidays of non-Christian religions - Diwali, Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur, Ramadan, etc. Lovett has been an exceptional experience for our children!...Read 139 Reviews

Parent: My daughter joined AGS in 6th grade from a larger Atlanta private school. She entered as a shy, soft spoken and timid girl and emerged as a confident, well-spoken, fearless young lady with robust academic skills and a strong sense of self. I attribute this to her experience at AGS. AGS nurtures the individual, celebrates her strengths, and provides the room for the girls to speak up and be heard. It is an extremely empowering place with wonderful teachers, an excellent college-prep curriculum, and a welcoming, inclusive environment. AGS changed my daughter's life. She went on to get into her first choice college and has been on the Dean's list for four years. She is graduating in May and starting a career in the male-dominated field of commercial real estate. I know she will be successful due to the belief in herself that she gained from her experience at AGS.

Alum: I have been in South Forsyth High School for my Junior and Senior Year of High School. At first, I found the classes to be quite difficult but within a month I got the hang of it. South Forsyth is known for its competitiveness (in a good way). This allows students to complete tasks to their absolute efficiency and be productive throughout the year. Attending this school has also allowed me to gain great knowledge about different subject areas and avidly learn and gain skills that are vital for school. I believe I became much smarter after joining this school and have learned to set my good priorities over other ones. I became balanced, open-minded and formed a family of my own with the people at the school. Not only in academics, but South Forsyth also has many game days and events which just made me enjoy and appreciate this school even more.
