My fiancé and I plan to move to Atlanta after next school year. I am a high school math teacher and will be looking for a job. We have not decided where to live but probably some place outside the city with a mix of suburbs and urban culture. Really I'm looking for advice as to when to begin looking for a job and where in your opinion would be good. The past five years I have been at a historically black magnet high school with tile 1 percentages up to 93%. Please let me know of good areas to look to live and work. Thanks!

As far as school systems go, Atlanta, Dekalb, or Clayton.

DeKalb and Clayton pay significantly less than Atlanta. Fulton is in the best financial shape after Atlanta. DeKalb and Clayton are in a fair amount of turmoil -- though Clayton seems to have settled down. Atlanta also has just left a rough period and while things are not where they need to be, an impressive school board was just elected and they have a stellar committee working on the superintendent search.
As a secondary math teacher, presuming you can get GA certification (and maybe even if you can't) you should be pretty easily hired by any system you are interested in.

Atlanta is a good bet. Also, I heard Gwinnet may be hiring next year as well but that is pretty far out and I don't know if you would want to commute there, but if you live closer to the city it would be an opposite commute - meaning you would be travelling in the opposite direction of everyone else so traffic wouldn't be as bad.

Thank you this helps to start off. GA has a reciprocity agreement with KY but regardless it shouldn't be too difficult to get GA certified. Good to hear about Atlantas new school board! First really positive thing I've heard in awhile.

I believe Wheeler in Cobb is their magnet STEM school. Although Walton is the consistent top school.
