Carroll County is not only a great place to live and raise a family, but the school system is "top-notch." Our schools are community-based, which makes the district most appealing, having a family feel to it. District leaders, school administrators, and teachers focus on creating premier learning experiences for students and encouraging them to make the most of the opportunities provided. The importance of building relationships with students and families is a core belief. The school board is supportive in providing state-of-the-art facilities, not just the school buildings themselves, but also performing arts and athletic facilities. The district has two College and Career Academies to serve the interests of high school students. Our district also has a 93% graduation rate, the second-highest in our state of all districts with 5 or more high schools. The school system is always looking for ways to improve, setting goals, and aiming higher for greater student achievement.
Carrollton is a pleasant city. The people are polite. It is easy going, a great change from Atlanta.There is virtually no traffic here. Whenever I want to visit, Atlanta is just an hour away. I like the fact that there are a lot of mom and pop shops. There is a cool youth community because of West Georgia University. The Green belt is walking distance from where I live which is great to go jogging. The Lake Carrol is always serene. The downfall I have seen is the lack of a healthy grocery store like Whole foods or Trader Joe's. Good thing the Kroger has a wide selection of healthy options. It would be nice to have somewhere to go to dance.
I have lived in Carroll County all my life and have enjoyed my time here. Almost anything you could need is located here: hospital and other medical services, shopping and restaurants, activities for all ages, close proximity to Atlanta, GA, and many other private and public services are available.
I thoroughly enjoy the area, but the inconsistent weather changes takes some getting used to.
