If you can deal with some
, Paulding County is quiet spot.
I've been looking around Dallas, Hiram and Powder Springs.
My days of living in the city of ATL are numbered. I love the city, but I'm ready for a change.
Dallas seems cool. I Used to kick it with a chick up there. I thought it was rural area but that shyt had everything you need
My girl only been in the A for a year. Easy to impress with things I’ve done before.
I got the restaurant reserved and I can do the Skyview
(she loves that shyt) but do they do the horse and carriage still? Too cold rn?
Does she wanna do the horse and carriage?
That shyt always seemed kinda lame lol
Out of the city. My car being stolen TWICE has left a sour taste in my mouth. And yea, I know it can happen anywhere. But I’m over it. And honestly, Fulton county doesn’t seem to have the best schools. The elementary school is straight, but I don’t like the zoned highschool my son is at. I want to get him into a better school for sure by next school year. I’m really looking into getting a house this year.
What high school is he zoned to if you don’t mind me asking? You can DM me if you don’t want it out there.
The elementary school I worked at in South Fulton was AMAZING & full of black folks. We were the #1 rated elementary school in all of the southside. Principal ended up getting fired on some dumb shyt & they put a white lady in his place from north Fulton & shyt has gone down hill.
If I had kids and I wanted them in the best public schools, I’d move to Fayette county or the north part of Gwinnett. I’m from Clayton & currently work for Clayton County schools & our schools aren’t the best tbh. The school I’m currently at, the kids are sweet but it’s the parents who act a fool. I actually wouldn’t mind my kids in Clayton County Schools. I’d just have to stay on them about work & staying away from the bad crowd.
Peachtree City & Tyrone are the best parts of Fayette County. Fayetteville is ok but some of the bad elements of Clayton are starting to infiltrate. I’d recommend all the schools in Fayette County.
Henry is good as well for the most part. The kids are wanna be try hards in some schools but nothing bad happens at those schools like you’ll see on the news from Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton or APS schools. I’d recommend all the Henry County High Schools as well.
Gwinnett is good for the most part as well. It’s the largest school system in the state if im not mistaken. Traffic is horrible there though and it’s a little too crowded for me. Outside of Shiloh & South Gwinnett High Schools your boy shouldn’t run across any well off kids trying to act like they’re straight out of zone 6
Certain parts of DeKalb has always been rough. Schools aren’t the best and it’s gang activity in some of the schools but I wouldn’t mind putting my kids in DeKalb if I had any.
Arabia Mountain, Chamblee, Cross Keys, Druid Hills, Dunwoody, Lakeside, Tucker & Miller Grove High Schools are cool. Avoid Columbia, McNair & Towers at all cost if you don’t want him around bad influences
Clarkston High School isn’t bad behavior wise but it’s an old school, and the actual city of Clarkston is sketchy if you don’t know where you are. They have the most foreign kids out of any school in the state. It’s a ton of refugees & folks from other countries who live in Clarkston.
Cedar Grove is so-so..half of the kids stay in nice homes and neighborhoods & the other half come from Bouldercrest Road
MLK is nice but they’ve been on the news for kids bringing guns on campus. Nobody has ever been hurt or shot there & it’s some beautiful neighborhoods in that cluster.
Lithonia, Redan, Southwest DeKalb, Stephenson & Stone Mountain aren’t bad but the schools are old. If your son is into fine arts I’d look into Southwest DeKalb & Stephenson. Legendary fine arts departments..
I’m not too hip on Cobb but avoid South Cobb HS.
Fayette, Henry & Gwinnett schools all have nice diversity. The schools and neighborhoods aren’t all the way black but you’ll still be around a lot us.
Clayton & DeKalb schools and neighborhoods are majority black. I have to go out my way sometimes to run across a white person. I’d say the best all black public school in the metro area is probably Arabia Mountain out in DeKalb.
