Buford schools are great. High School looks like a quality small college campus with an equally impressive football program. Hell of a drive to work though, particularly during rush hour. Easily could be 2+ hours.

Kennesaw/Marrietta area is the "value" play. Great schools, good amount of quality new build homes coming on the market for $700-$900k at reduced rate financing from builders. Ton of Delta pilots with young families moving into the area.

I grew up in Atlanta, whats the beltway? You talking about I-20 or 285? There's a bunch of us that live inside the perimeter/285 in in-town neighborhoods. It's def not as wild and hairy as some might think.

One of the top #10 schools in the state, is just off VA Ave, behind the Louisiana Bistreaux. Tuition looks like it's well within the range of a Delta pilot. I'm not sure if they catch any stray bullets from VA Ave or not...

The private school tuition's around here are out of this world, you're paying sometimes over $30K a year per kid at some of these places for K-12.

For 30,000 per year a child should be Albert Einstein by the 7th grade and get a job for a million a year after graduating high school 😂.

That's just the cost of private school tuition these days, specifically high school. I don't know about the Atlanta area, but where I live, people live in areas with not good schools to save on house values and send their kids to private school. It can be a wash in a pure dollars and cents metric.

As long as the school doesn’t have LEARING center on the sign instead of LEARNING center you’ll be good .

There are solid schools everywhere around ATL. But you really need to visit schools and talk to people with kids at those schools to really get an idea of the quality.

If your definition of a “good school” is the subjective rankings of the greatschools website, then you’ve lost all credibility in the conversation.

I bet they'd be smart enough not to turn down a flow at least.

And what sort of non subjective insight would a random parent of a kid at a school be able to give you that a aggregator not be able to provide insight on?
