Help! We are moving to the Atlanta area and I want to know where the best school districts are.

My son will be in first grade but in case we stay for middle school i don't want to have to move out of the district. Which county should I be looking in?

Great Schools can help you a lot. Atlanta city has great elementary schools but not so great Middle or High. Marietta (East Cobb) if your best bet.

If you are interested in bilingual elementary school, my daughter is going to Imagine Wesley Charter School, which teaches the IB program and chinese.

Morningside Elementary, Mary Lin Elementary, Inamn middle school and Grady high school. Awesome Intown neighborhood which is called Virginia Highlands and Morningside. Love the schools and the neighborhood.
I hope this helps

My brother's family moved to Conyers, GA (a suburb of Atlanta) many years ago. They love it there and will retire there as well. Not only are the school's there wonderful and welcome parent involvement, but the parks and recreation is kid oriented. We have visited quite often and are considering moving there ourselves. Good luck in your future home and move.

Thanks this is a helpful start. I have already been on great schools and found some helpful information. The only problem is narrowing it down. My husband and I work from home so we are not bound to any one area. So the deciding factor for me is does it have a great school district.
