    #1 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Alum: I like the studying atmosphere and the rigor. This is a very ambitious school. The one thing I wish they would improve is their mental health awareness. I also wish that more teachers/counselors could promote identity outside of academic success such as success as an artist, a chef, and/or just a housewife even!

    #2 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    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! (UsaWorldreport 2018 ranked us 160 out of 17000 high schools in the country)

    #6 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: My experience in Trion City Schools was by far one of the most memorable. I have met so many teachers that willingly go out of their way to ensure I receive a good education and understand the material. The faculty really cares about the students and does not leave one behind when covering tough subjects. They are very cooperative and even provide time after school for students needing extra assistance. Trion High School also provides Dual Enrollment on campus to prepare students for college. There are many great things about my experience at Trion High School that I would not receive anywhere else.

    #7 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Junior: Over my two years I have completed in Buford High School, I have not encountered a single thing I did not simply love. So far, all of my teachers have treated me with upmost respect and have been there to help me in any area that I need. Not only are the academics amazing, but I am involved in high school baseball, and the athletics department are to die for. As they say at Buford “Triple A excellence: Academics, Atheletics, And Arts”. Until I reached my freshman year, I did not understand how accurate this statement was. Overall, I have loved my experiences at Buford High school so far and can’t wait to see what the future has to offer!

    #8 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Alum: This school provides a unique experience where the art courses are just as important and as rigorous as the academic classes. From musicals, and choir performances to art shows and film festivals, Savannah Arts Academy is the perfect place for high school students to express their talents and creativity. The opportunities that this school offers are unlike most schools. These include an annual fashion show, also known as junk2funk, participation in local operas and art or music festivals, guest speakers, and more. In addition, the academic courses are taught by a wonderful staff of teachers who are understanding of the importance of the arts elective courses. Overall, my experience at this school is something I will never forget.

    #9 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: I have attended John S. Davidson Fine Arts School since sixth grade and now I am graduating as a senior in 2019! My primary fine art has always been vocal music and I have been on many trips over the years. I love every teacher in this school and I plan to keep in touch with them while I'm in college. I love Davidson because they offer many clubs, societies, AP classes, and even a few after school sports activities. Davidson Fine Arts will always be an influential memory in my heart!

  12. DeKalb School of the Arts

    • Dekalb County Schools, GA
    • 8-12
    • 163 reviews
    #10 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Alum: Dekalb School of the Arts taught me how to plan effectively and utilize time management properly. Since Dekalb School of the Arts also has a unique arts program it forces you to have to learn how to balance both the high academic workload of a high-school, and the devotion to practicing an artistic craft. So, overall I think Dekalb School of the Arts does prepare students well for life after high-school by requiring students to develop skills like patience, discipline, adaption, communication skills, and time management. But one thing that Dekalb School of the Arts fails at is strengthening students academic weaknesses. Since the school is not as big as majority of the high schools in the state, there should be more time put into personally helping out each student individually and helping them fill in the academic holes that have been left from previous school experience. Even though the school is an arts school there should be equal effort put into academics as well.

    • Forsyth County Schools, GA
    • 9-12
    • 536 reviews
    #11 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: South Forsyth High School is amazing with their students and education. Teachers and staff care so much about the students and there are many teachers that any students can ask help for and they will always be there for you. South is very diverse and everyone is treated equally with care and we all support each other in any help. One thing I absolutely love about South is the many opportunities and experience students get to have! We have amazing field trips if you're in DECA, for example going of out state and also for foreign language there are a lot of amazing field trips like going to Paris or Spain!The one thing I would change about South is the school spirit. I believe that school spirit should be expressed in every event and not only football. There should be school spirit in pep rallys, soccer games, basketball games, baseball/softball games, plays, etc. Overall I'm lucking enough to attend South Forsyth High School and get the best high school experience.

    #12 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Alum: McIntosh was an incredible preparation for the realistic amount of work-load and real-world experiences that college will bring. The rigorous courses provided were indeed a plus. The opportunities available to partake in multiple types of dual-enrollment and AP courses were great! I would highly recommend this school, in all honesty, for realistic exceptions of life in college, and superb academics.

    • 995 reviews
    #13 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: Brookwood is different from any other school I've heard compared to the Gwinnett district. What I love about this school is the endless opportunities they offer. They provide many clubs and academics, especially the APs. They work every year to improve their school for the comfort of students. The school has shown off their records and not afraid to show their trophy display. (Which is kind of obnoxious but impressive to say the least) Additionally, administration can be both professional and friendly. They do what's best for students while befriends them at the same time. Brookwood is also known for their football. The students here have crazy spirit, I've never seen anything like it. The stadiums would be packed on those Friday nights. People would skip doing their homework or any other activity just to attend their games. The support is unreal here. Go Broncos!

The students here at warren county high are very outgoing, very involved with their school work, and extracurricular activities such as field trips. Everyone at warren county high are friendly, they will help you when you need help, and if you are feeling down there will always be someone their to help you cheer up or to brighten your day.

    #15 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Sophomore: What I like about Elite Scholars are the no tolerance for academic failure. Every teacher around you pushes you to limits you didn't know you had. The only thing I dislike is not being able to wear black pants (feminine reasons), having to wear the blazer outfit every single Wednesday and field trip, and the year long school choice. I am really impressed with the high technology students like me are able to use in every single classroom!

    #16 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: The school allowed me to grow individually as well as intellectually, and provided a safe learning experience, in a nation where it is desperately needed. I had a strong support system in and out of the school from my teachers, as well as my athletic coaches who helped me over the years. The school was very flexible in modernizing, and adapting to students' schedules while still maintaining a strong academic excellency. The only downfalls were the lack cultural diversity school wide, as well as the inability to firmly prepare students for college.

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!

    • Gwinnett County Public Schools, GA
    • 9-12
    • 801 reviews
    #18 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Junior: North Gwinnett High School is a place where I feel safe and free to be myself. I strongly believe that I am getting the best education that I can possibly get here at North simply because the teachers here are committed to helping their student to not just simply pass/graduate high school, but to make a difference in their students’ lives for the better! One thing that I love about this school is the amount of diversity here. There are people of all sorts of racial mixes, unique ethnicities, and the best part is that they all come from different backgrounds that somehow bring people closer together, too. However, I gave NGHS four stars only because not everywhere is a perfect place and that things may happen out of the convenience of other people at the school. The large amount of school spirit here at NGHS is phenomenal in which everyone participates and supports each other, which is what being a true NGHS bulldog means!

    #19 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Junior: As a current junior at Milton High School, I have experienced most or all of what this school has to offer. And if I could describe it in one word, it would be stimulating. Milton has something to offer for everyone; it offers close to 30 different AP classes, had state-ranked sports, including football, volleyball, cross country, cheerleading, and more. Not to mention, it’s arts department is amazing; band, orchestra, theatre, and even cirque are all encompassed in this unique high school experience. Extracurriculars are evidently a large part of the culture at Milton, and these include over 20 different clubs with a variety of interests, from healthcare to student council to even business. Milton is sure to have something for everyone who attends, and has a very strong school spirit, which can be seen at football games throughout the season. Although freedom at the school can be taken too far, with drugs and vaping not uncommon, it also enables students to be their best selves.

    Senior: I like Chattahoochee High School's cultural environment! Our school is know for being the "School of Heart" in our area. Though we do have lots of competition, specifically in academics, we have the most school spirit out of all the schools in our area and are taught compassion and kindness. Everyone in our school is expected to respect one another and show friendship and stellar character. One thing I would like to see change in our school, however, is the resources we are given to excel in academics.

Plus, the REALLY push AP and not Dual Enrollment.

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.

    • Gwinnett County Public Schools, GA
    • 9-12
    • 811 reviews
    #23 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Senior: I love the culture at Peachtree Ridge High School. It is extremely diversified compared to other schools in the county, and there is a niche for every student. Our AP teachers prepare us well for exams, as well as honors teachers. With block scheduling, we receive extra class time that others schools don't. Thus, we are better prepared for exams. Furthermore, block scheduling allows students to focus only on four classes at a time, as opposed to seven or eight.

    I feel extremely safe at Peachtree Ridge; the doors are locked at all times. Although our sports and food could be improved, I'm grateful that safety is always our administrators' first priority.

    Although I'm interested in the English pathway, Peachtree Ridge offers an excellent STEM pathway, which features engineering. I am honored be a student at such an innovative school.

    • 1,124 reviews
    #24 Best Public High School Teachers in Georgia

    Alum: I am a recently graduated student and absolutely loved this school and the opportunities it offered. This school completely prepares you for college as you are faced with people from every kind of background, religion, ethnicity, and even culture. Not only does this school offer every chance to get heavily involved, but it also grants complete freedom when it comes to creativity. Thanks to Mill Creek I had the opportunity to create my own 501 C3 non-profit that is functioning and helping supply students around the world and within our own community with school supplies. I also was able to go to California, Florida, North Carolina, Alabama, and many other places throughout Georgia due to my involvement in multiple clubs and sports. We even went to Disneyworld, Disneyland, and Universal Studios. If a student leaves this school having had no real life experience it is their own doing, not Mill Creek’s. Once a hawk, always a hawk! MC BABY!

    Senior: The learning environment is outstanding due to the great staff. If you’re having an issue whether it’s school related or not, the staff cares enough to listen and gives great advice on how to handle the situations as I know from experience. Stilwell is like one big family that’s bonded together through the arts. The fine arts teachers for each major are outstanding at what they do and presents great showcases throughout the school year. Overall, Stilwell is a great school, and I am proud to say that I’ve attended all four years here and will be graduating with the Class of 2019. Thank you Stilwell!

    Parent: Extraordinary school and community. My daughter had so many wonderful teachers and mentors who cared about her development. This is that rare school that offers challenge and opportunities galore in a nurturing community. Facilties are good but the people here make the difference. Size is perfect. Location on outskirts of Concord is bucolic yet only 20 miles from Boston. Student culture is collaborative and kind. Well-rounded experience for all, thought each student develops his own path.

    Waring School

    • Private School
    • Beverly, MA
    • 6-12
    • 17 reviews

    Alum: I loved going to Waring. The academics are unparalleled. Not only do you study a myriad of subjects, you learn the philosophy behind them. Teachers genuinely care about their students. Waring has made considerable effort to increase diversity in the past five years, they have their hearts in the right place but they dont seem to put any funding behind their efforts - at least not in terms of scholarship money. The social scene in my early years a student was trying, but ultimately taught me skills that will aid me in my chosen career path. This is influenced by a clear decision to favor traditional sports over other hobbies. Thanks to Waring, I'm well prepared for college, often having covered many topics in my early high school years at Waring. I am well prepared for collaborative projects, and I'm very well travelled thanks to all the opportunities Waring provides. If you're curious about Waring, go visit; attend student plays, art shows, or sports games. It's an incredible school.

    The Mount Vernon School

    Parent: We could not be happier that our family landed at Mount Vernon. After attending another major Private School in Atlanta and realizing it wasn't a good fit for our family, we arrived at MV. From the first admissions tour we were welcomed at the school and felt so comfortable on campus. Each day, my children are chatting the entire drive home about what they learned, their experiences, and how creative their teachers are. We are so impressed with the teachers and administration. You can tell that every person that interacts with our family truly KNOWS my children. I also love how connected MV is with the Sandy Springs police. My children love hanging with Officer Mike and I love knowing that I drop them off daily in a safe, nurturing environment. The teachers know my child's likes and passions - and those are incorporated into the learning. I am so thankful that we are #bettertogether as a part of the MV family.
