Saw in today's paper that Lambert in Forsyth Co. (the burbs! OMG!) was top high-school in the metro area.

Let's not forget to slip Cherokee County in there too. 83.7 on high schools puts them in just behind Cobb, and 88.3 on elementary schools puts them ahead of Cobb.

And some of you continue to wonder why families choose to live in suburbs like Cobb.

Just a note: I believe that this report is based off of 2011-2012 data, they are supposed to send out a 2012-2013 report later this year.

And why some of us in North Fulton hate being lumped together with the rest of the county. The subject was discussed before, and my concerns were downplayed.

Hopefully Milton County will happen. The situation with Fulton is crazy. They are fighting each other over things caused by population changes.

milton county is dead, especially now that the entire north fulton is incorporated. there's just not enough people to get behind the idea. that, and the fact that it was a stupid idea in the first place.

I am not so sure about this.... whether it can pass a state wide vote is a separate issue, but i know many N. Fulton residents who support this idea. I am not saying it is a good idea, but it will come back, probably this legislative session...

You are seriously overstating how much impact that rating has on real estate values. Fulton is the most populous county in the state, covers an immense geographic region, and is home to the state capital. People are not going to nix the entire swath off their list because of the overall score of the entire county.

People shop by district. Not by system.

Every single day there are people on here asking for information on Roswell and John's Creek. Every. Single. Day. Being "associated" with the southern part of the county clearly hasn't deterred them. By your logic, the entire county would have been struck from their list in the first pass.
