South Fulton and Clayton Co.

[steppie827]

If you are looking for middle/upper class african-americans you wont see them in abundance in north fulton. I would recommend taking a weekend trip to atlanta and visit camp creek/sandtown area. The other posts failed to mention that in south fulton they have a new high school to open, new elementary opened and new middle school, westlake is re-being built open. With fulton county investing that much $$$ in fulton county why would they not invest in the education also??? North fulton has traffic, traffic and more traffic,congestion, people live on top of each other, rudeness, etc. Yes you do have more commercial by Perimeter mall than Camp Creek Marketplace but the homes are larger in Camp Creek. Learning does start at the home! Good luck on your search.

These are the schools in the area that we are considering buying in....thanks for the thorough reviews. Stonewall Tell is an AMAZING school from what I can tell, and Westlake is a magnet school with Medical and Engineering emphasis. I'm so excited about this purchase now!
