    2 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Alum: Buford High School is a very good school. I would recommend it over other schools in the Gwinnett County area. It is a public school in Gwinnett but if you do not live in Buford city, you will pay an out of district cost. I was a transfer student and my parents paid for out of district for two years and then we moved into the district of Buford. I definitely feel like I benefited from transferring from my last school. Our principal had a strong code of ethics and with no tolerance for any drug, alcohol, bullying, any type of weapons and more. Graduated and happy with the classes, courses, and friends made along the way. Now here I come Georgia Southern University!

    3 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: My overall experience at Bremen High School has been great! I have really enjoyed attending school here since kindergarten. Everyone at school is welcoming with open arms. My favorite thing about Bremen is the community involvement. No matter the situation or event, the entire community is behind the person, team, or organization competing or participating.

    Brandon Hall School

    • Private School
    • Atlanta, GA
    • 6-12
    • 34

    Parent: Our daughter just started her second year at Brandon Hall as a junior this year. Her experience has been transformative in helping her build personal confidence and self-advocacy, establishing better self-management and study habits, and building a cohort of friends that fit her interest and background. The combination of student and faculty diversity, highly supportive academic environment both inside and outside of the classroom, and an emphasis on the whole person and leadership development are exceptional. The head master joined the school a couple of years ago and he is rapidly shaping an already good school into one of the most distinctive boarding schools in America on many dimensions and in particular on diversity and supporting the development of the whole person. Keep an eye on this rising star!!

  5. Walton High School

    • 9-12
    • 431
    4 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: Walton High School has inspired me to strive for success in all aspects of my life. The goal of the teachers and administrators is to inspire students to be successful in their classes in addition to giving back to the community. The teachers push students to be studious, but also honest. Academic integrity is an important value at Walton, and students are required to write our honor code at the top of each assignment and assessment we turn in to our teachers. Undeniably , Walton has a reputation for being a challenging school. However, I firmly believe that each student can shape their high school experience to their liking. There are a variety of on-level, honors, and AP classes that students can pick and choose from. In addition to academics, Walton has many extracurricular activities available for students. Some popular clubs are Model UN, Habitat for Humanity, and Walton Community Outreach. The sports programs at Walton are another excellent way to spend time outside of class.

    5 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Junior: Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School is a wonderful environment for students to foster their creativity and love of learning. The teachers are wonderful, and even though the classes are very academically rigorous, the teachers, both in the fine arts and academic departments, are extremely supportive and do so much to help students thrive. There are many opportunities for students to be themselves and enjoy their school experience while doing so, through school spirit events, community service, societies that honor individuality and academic achievement, and a host of performances and showcases of the utmost quality year-round. For me, the best part of being a student at Davidson is the environment of the school and the students, faculty, and staff that encompass it. Everyone at Davidson Fine Arts is accommodating, encouraging, driven, and hard-working. In my experience, I love Davidson Fine Arts Magnet, and I can't imagine being anywhere else.

    Senior: I absolutely love North Oconee. I have been attending since I was a freshman and am honestly sad to leave after this year. I do feel completely ready for college but it will be sad to leave this awesome school. In my three years (so far) I have had no complaints. The teachers are great and care about the students success, students are awesome, clubs and oppurtuinities are endless, and athletics are great too. I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone!

    7 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: North Gwinnett High School is unlike any other. The students are happy to learn and communicate with their teachers, advisors, counselors, and peers. This is an overwhelmingly competitive school in many aspects including sports, academics and social endeavors, but it pushes its students to be the best they can be. It has proven, over the past four years I have been in admittance, to grow and develop tremendously in extracurriculars as well as academics and creates a balance between the two. The classes range from standard, to online, to AP and dual enrollment at local colleges depending on what you plan to do in the future, and everyone is treated with respect and kindness. Opportunities at this school are exponential and never ending. I love North Gwinnett High School.

    • 9-12
    • 542
    9 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: Students at Northview have a lot of ambition, which generally translates to them pushing themselves academically. On the other side of the coin, this also causes a lot of cheating and cutting corners within the school, as well as unhealthily high levels of stress and sleepless nights. Furthermore, the atmosphere at Northview emphasizes good grades over actual intellectual stimulation, and rote memorization over creativity or divergent thinking. Because of Northview's diversity, people can generally find friends and groups that they can get along with, and most people tend to be extremely tolerant of groups traditionally ostracized by society (the student body is more liberal than conservatuve; however, as this is Georgia, the conservative population still has a significant presence); despite this, the general environment at the school is cutthroat.

    Senior: The academics are wonderful at Lake Oconee Academy. Teachers are always willing to work with a student and are reasonable for deadlines. Grades are very important at the school and the teachers want you to succeed. Hopefully, in the future the school will be less cliqued and more social in its student body.

    11 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: My experience at Chattahoochee High School has been a great one! I transferred to Chattahoochee High School from Seaholm High School in Birmingham, Michigan at the start of my Junior year in high school. I started my study of architecture, and I completed my study of Mandarin Chinese at Seaholm. So, I was very apprehensive about moving to a new state and a new school, but my Mom had a better job opportunity in Georgia. Chattahoochee welcomed me as a new student, making the transition much easier. I have been able to continue my study of architecture and take an acoustic guitar class. I have made some great friends. The staff and teachers are awesome! My architecture teacher, Mr. Mervich has helped me to significantly improve my architecture skills. I would recommend Chattahoochee to any student who wants to be in a friendly, diverse environment with excellent academic and artistic opportunities.

    12 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: Overall, I believe Alpharetta High School is a great school, and it undoubtedly has rigorous courses intended to prepare you for college. The food is alright some times, but usually tastes bad, has very small portions, and the occasional spoiled milk. Our school spirit isn't the best and is usually the source of many jokes on campus, however, it isn't that unusual for high schools. There are many quality teachers who genuinely care about their students at this school that creates a very friendly environment. The school administration is pretty average, but makes some poor decision with bad weather conditions and off campus privileges for seniors/juniors.

    • Dekalb County Schools, GA
    • 9-12
    • 161
    13 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Alum: It is a very welcoming and stimulating environment. The school's focus is academics so there are no sports. However, there are plenty of clubs to join and activities to participate in. At the official building for the school, holding the 9th and 10th grade students, the classes can be tough but they are extremely rewarding. The teachers are involved and give personal attention to each student. Once a student reaches 11th grade, they head to a college campus, so they are able to get a taste for college and what it is like. It is helpful because it shows the students what college is like and how to handle and adjust themselves accordingly. One change I would make to the program would be setting up appointments, sometime between 10th and 11th grade year, to discuss and go over whatever pathway the students want to choose. This would serve to help set up the classes the student needs to achieve their goal, whether it be to obtain their associates or just gain college credit.

    14 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: I have been a student at Etowah for four years now. In my opinion, the school is excellent! It has served me as a great launchpad for college in that the staff has found the right balance between forcing academic independence and giving students help when help is needed. As a school, it rewards hardwork and shuts down any problems that may need to be stopped. Overall, I feel that if there was an experience I wanted to participate in, the Etowah teachers and administrators would help me in my goals. An example of this was when I wanted to apply for a certain government internship where I would require a school delegation. I easily scheduled a meeting with my principal where he made calls to ensure me a delegation! Overall, I am very happy with my experience as a student here and feel prepared to enter College.

    Alum: Milton High School provided above average opportunities in the arts. Teachers are focused on cultivating a personal relationship with students to foster a community for exceptional education. I will give a warning to parents: make sure your child is rooted in the words of Jesus, because if you are not you can be easily swept to the wayside. Nonetheless, I am blessed to say that I am a Milton High School alumni!

This allows us, students, to find what our interests may be through our studies. The teachers also help us be where we want to be with study resources, extra help sessions, and extra credit opportunities.

I am so grateful to attend this high school and become an alumnus in a few months. Go Eagles!

    High School Senior: Schley County Middle/High School is a very small school. Everyone knows everyone that's one of the reasons that makes my school unique. My favorite experiences at Schley have been the pep rallies on Fridays for the football team and going to watch the baseball team win the state championship last year! Being a softball player our team always had a lot of support from our school and classmates when we went to the state playoffs. Schley County is a great school system but I'm not sure if I would choose this school again because of the common core learning and it not preparing us for the SAT and ACT tests and for college. Also would like to go to a bigger school that would've offered more classes. But this school is great and I've made some amazing friendships because of this school.

    Sophomore: This is my fifth year attending Lyndon Academy and I absolutely love it! I have opportunities that I would not have at other schools. I have the chance to play three sports while being in the school's concert band. That is not something a typical high school student is able to do. The atmosphere at Lyndon is also very close knit. I have made friendships that will last long after I graduate and I have close relationships with my teachers. Lyndon provides chances for me to grow and have experiences that I will not find anywhere else. I have had the opportunity to go to China to expand my Chinese, I got to go to Washington, DC to experience our nation's capital, as well as other fun and educational trips. Student involvement is a priority at Lyndon. Students have opportunities to create traditions and activities that will continue to be a part of Lyndon even after they have graduated.
