Alum: Gwinnett County schools was great! It was very challenging at times with the standardized tests. However, there were tons of clubs, sports, and opportunities. I was involved with FBLA(Future Business Leaders of America) Key Club, and Art Club.

#2 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Senior: My experience at Carrollton high school was definitely a great one. The teacher were there to no only teach but to guide us students to plan and achieve our future goals. The students here are very prideful of what has been here years before us. We take pride in being the Mighty Trojans! With being a Mighty Trojan comes responsibility such as withholding a good attitude, have the best academics possible and to be as involved as possible. At Carrollton high school we strive to the absolute best us we ca be.

#3 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Freshman: I believe Cobb County is very peaceful. I rarely speak nor hear anyone speak negatively about Cobb County. Since elementary school my experience with Cobb County schools has opened the door for so many great opportunities. Teachers and administration are always there to help. The Cobb County board of education in general help to create an outstanding path for the leaders of tomorrow. In my high school there is something for everyone. Based on your interest you are given the opportunity to choose from a variety of clubs and organizations. Not only are there clubs to choose from but they have something for the athletes as well. There are many different sports to choose from such as soccer, basketball, swimming, dance, lacrosse, and many more. McEachern High School's open campus is very diverse. It is crazy how many different types of people and personalities you can run into. Cobb County is my home. I feel protected here because there is always someone or something to help!

Parent: Our son is currently in the 2nd grade. He has been at the school for two years, and it has been a wonderful experience. The enthusiasm of the teachers, who are truly experts in the subjects they teach, is infectious. They consistently set high standards for all students at every stage of their academic career. This is a school that prioritizes academics and the students themselves; it is targeted to students with intellectual curiosity and a strong work ethic. We are very happy here!

#4 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Sophomore: Fulton County Schools are great. I attend Westlake High School. The staff is amazing, as well as the food. The staff makes sure that everyone is safe and having fun in a learning environment. They provide great opportunities for students. Mostly through clubs, sports, internships and community involvement. The facilities such as the restrooms could be better, but that mostly falls on the students. The students at my school are very unique. We all come from different ethnic and situational backgrounds. Yet we find common ground on calling Westlake our home!

#6 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Senior: With many great STEM and early learning programs Marietta City Schools has great promise as a system if only they could get out from under the thumb of local politics and system greed. With all of their technical training being available, one would think they have every student's best at heart, however the lust for funding inside the High School's IB program has led many astray and has actually cut 90 percent of the AP classes out that would have better benefited the students.

#7 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Sophomore: Henry county is nice a place to attend schools but the experience can be even more better with these small things. First, our schools need more parent involvement. When a parent is involved in their child's education, it not only benefits the child but others around them too. Start a PTA (Parent and Teacher Association), just get involved! Next, diversity of different cultures must be recognized. Events such as cultural or diversity days allow students from different backgrounds to feel welcomed and unite as one despite unique ethnicities and nationalities. Finally, funding should go to all sports not just football and basketball. Other student-athletes aren't able to practice to the best of their ability because of lack of good facilities and equipment for their sport. Henry county schools could go above and beyond if we, as a community, can implement these things into our schools.

Junior: I think that Douglas County is a very good school with wonderful opportunities such as AP, Honors, and IB classes. The faculty is friendly and the teachers care about the development of their students’ futures. There are lots of activities and clubs to participate in and the school is very inclusive. However, the music and fine arts departments do not receive as much funding as the sports do, in particular basketball and football, and that is something I would like to change.

Senior: I have been a student at Buford city schools since my 6th grade year. Over the course of 5 years, I’ve realized how blessed I am to have such a supportive school system. Buford city provides great facilities, technology, teachers, and athletics. A new basketball arena was built less than 3 years ago and already a brand new high school is being built. The Buford city school council provides the students with excellent resources so they have the best chance to get a top notch education. I am so thankful to be a student in the Buford city school system.

#10 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Alum: I think overall I had a great experience in the barrow county school system. They care about their students and reach out to help them. One thing I would change would be the tardy policy. Some students can’t help it and some just have rough mornings. They aren’t sympathetic to the students who are late and after 5/6 tardies they get ISS. Some straight A students who have never gotten in trouble and have ISS for tardies I think it’s ridiculous. You can be not even a minute late and they would send you to a tardy station which wastes more class time. There are a few other little changes I think they could undergo but other than that barrow county has good schools.

#11 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Parent: My children have been going to Hall County Schools since 2005. My daughter recently graduated from West Hall High School and my son is a Sophmore there now. Flowery Branch Elementry was an amazing school. Teachers and staff were so loving and caring for both of my children. West Hall Middle School, besides all the drama with the kids friends and trying to figure out who they are was also a good school. My daughter even dog sets and went to the wedding if one of her teachers there. West Hall High School is a great school and has made a wonderful stepping ground for my daughter now that she’s in college. Both of my children have been a part of the sports programs since they were in first grade, football, basketball, softball, cheerleading and wrestling. All amazing experiences! I cannot complain.

#12 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Alum: Overall, I received an excellent education in Coweta County. Up until my senior year, I felt the curriculum was challenging, but because of some certain administrative changes, there was more of a push just to get us graduated rather than challenge us to be the best at all we do. Sports were an extremely positive experience for me. I was a varsity soccer player as well as ran varsity cross country. I definitely loved my high school years!

Parent: Being smaller than DeKalb and Fulton Counties, Fayette is absolutely fabulous! The staff seems to really care, (from the administrators down to the teachers). I'm impressed with the academics and the athletics are improving, especially after having a former Olympian graduate from a Fayette County School. My family and I have only been in Fayette since the start of the 2017-2018 school year. My son has blossomed before my very eyes and is thriving at Bennett's Mill Middle School.

Senior: Every single day, 5 days a week I would wake up to attend Villa Rica High School. Each and every single one of those days I woke up with a smile on my face, and the readiness to obtain knowledge to better my future. I absolutely loved going to school. The environment is diverse and accepting, the teachers and administrators are kind and helpful, and the schools are clean and welcoming. My favorite part of the Carroll County School System would be the College and career system. Whether you're learning a trade, or just taking something for the benefit of your own knowledge, you can guarantee that you will have access to the best equipment, and information from the wonderful teachers from the many choices you have. I absolutely recommend this school system to any upcoming Middle school, or High school student looking for a fun, educational, and beneficial environment to excel in. And hey, even the lunch is good too!

I have felt accepted, loved, and respected throughout my school years in the Griffin Spalding County School System.

#17 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Junior: I recently moved into the area from a very poor school district. There is a major difference because I am going to a private school, and it really prepares you for college better than public school does. It was a hard adjustment to the curriculum, but the teachers will always be there to help you understand if you don't! Currently I am a junior at Young Americans Christian School, and I enjoy this school. We have an SAT prep class that strictly prepares you for the test so that you can get the highest score possible.

#18 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Senior: The Dekalb County School system has been able to provide an excellent education to me and my peers. As a student of Chamblee Charter High School, I was able to become a magnet student student and get a much better education than I would've at any other school. Over the past four years, I have been able to become heavily involved in my schools stem program. The county provided the funds for clubs, such as VEX Robotics Competition, Technology Student Association, and Electric Vehicle. Due to funding that the school system provided, I received an education has greatly prepared me for a true college education. Overall, Dekalb County has gone at no expense to ensure that all student are provided a quality education and can enter college with confidence that they can succeed. The county has provided a quality education, but lacks quality food for school breakfast and lunch. It has also ignored the infrastructure of many schools throughout the county.

#19 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Alum: I liked my Pauling County schools just because its where i meet my best friend in the world and I got to be apart of marching band. I also like some of my teachers. They really knew how to connect with students and still give me a wonderful education. I would change a lot about the school I attended, one thing being the school food. i would also want to change the atmosphere in the school. Every one seems so distant from each other. There is no sense of a family vibe . It is there but its in groups of people not the school as a unity. I know that this is high school so this is something very hard to achieve, but still it would be nice. People would probably like coming more. Besides all that my experience at Pauling county schools was pretty good

#20 Most Diverse School Districts in Atlanta Area
Senior: Entering Gainesville High School my Freshman year, I expected great things to happen. Watching the football team win the championship in 8th grade, got me really excited to join the team! Our Quarterback was a 5 star All-American who got every college coach attention and put Gainesville High School on the map. Sports was all good and well and then came academics. I didn't think Academics would be as good as they are because of all the low GPA's on our football team but I learned that some guys didn't care about academics. If you wanted to learn and better yourself, you would see academics came easy. Through my years at GHS it's been fun and definitely an adventure. The teachers cared about athletes and and that's what made me love GHS even more! I would like to Personally thank the staff members that help me get to where I am today!

Senior: I transferred from another school system to Social Circle my seventh grade year.It was a very good change for me!My education at these schools has been very good. It has its problems just like any other school system. I will say the high school has many career and college opportunities like a certified nursing assistant program and Move on When Ready class options at the local college. However, discipline issues are everywhere and the cafeteria food is not up to par. Most of the teachers have been there for several years and are awesome. They go over and beyond for their students all the time. I love this school system, but it does have its flaws.

Senior: The best things to me about Bartow county schools are the techers and the school culture. The teachers have always been amazing since kindergarten. They are always willing to help those of us that are willing and wanting to help ourselves. I love the fact that even though we move to different grades and move on to different schools, they still support their former students no matter what! I also love the culture! Everyone is accepted for who they are and we all try to celebrate each others differences. I love how my unique qualities and characteristics are celebrated!

Senior: High school in Cherokee county has been great. Cherokee county offers about every AP class that exist and has great classes to prepare you for the tests. In my expereince Cherokee County has kept the schools clean and hired a great custodian staff. Cherokee county also supports their fine arts programs very much. Every school’s marching bands, bands, orchestras, theater programs, and art classes are funded greatly and are supported when they are sent off to or have their art displayed. The same goes for all the sports teams who make state, regional, and national. I have also loved the turnout of students at sports games, especially the community I have seen at football games, everywhere between the marching band and the cheerleaders doing cheers together and the football coming out to help the marching band with a car wash fundraiser.

Senior: My experience at City Schools of Decatur for the 2018-19 school year was very interesting. The teachers were amazing and prided themselves on inclusion. The teachers made sure that all of the students understood what was going on in the classroom. The school had an organization for new students to ease the transitioning process. The grading scale is a little confusing since because of the International Baccalaureate program. The school is very spacious and administration makes sure that the school is safe and that the classrooms are a comfortable learning environment. The school does have block days which can be confusing starting the school year out, but it is very beneficial. Overall the school is amazing.

Senior: Extremely competitive environment. Takes a special type of ambitious, intrinsically driven, child to thrive here. Teaches kids skill such as confidence in ones ability to perform as well as how to talk to adults in a professional manner, these are skills that just can't be learned in public school. There is a lot of extreme social, academic, and athletic pressure to perform well here. There is little to no space for type B personalities and you will find a lot of extremely driven "Work hard play hard" type students here! its always "go go go go time" at NA

Niche User: I do not have a child at Woodberry, but our school’s squash team has played theirs on several occasions. Each time, whether home or visiting, I am incredibly impressed with how gracious, well-mannnered, and polite their players are. Winning or losing, they have a kind word for their teammates and opponents, and even parents. They carry themselves maturely and respectfully. I can’t speak for the academics, but whatever they are doing to build these boys’ character, well done!
