Actually, it worked fine for me with a fair to middlin' district. However this doesn't sound like a "bad" school district. It sounds a bit better than many.

My first house was in a lack luster district. We stayed their for seven years, and while it did not appreciate to the degree that a home in a place with more "buzz" may have, we still made 75 thousand dollars. Not too shabby.

Had we rented in one of those places with "buzz' that never would have happened.

Yes, Clayton Schools are good. Like all public school systems, there is always room for improvement. They have to teach the students sent to them. You know, the parents aren't keeping their best kids at home and sending the others to school. I know several teachers who left to teach in a neighboring system for a year and couldn't wait to get back.

Definitely need more people living south of town. When that happens, the entire town will feel bigger, and maybe we'll finally FINALLY get some chains to move south of I-20.

I am an older millennial (early 30's) who bought my first house in Morrow almost 2 years ago and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have expounded on the gloriousness of Morrow in other posts, so I won't repeat the rant here, but its really insanely overlooked as a great place to live. It's so close to Atlanta, easy to get in and out of, has lots of solid low key dining options for weekday takeout variety. One of every major grocery store, easy access to every part of Atlanta. When I want to go out I'm going out in Atlanta anyway, so thats not even a factor. Everybody has it in their head that its gonna be so ridiculously far out, but every time people come over they talk about how they never realized how close this is, without fail.

I do feel like Morrow is really missing the boat on not promoting it as a great commuter city for millennials.

All the millenials moving to Morrow--well, I could live with that! They could put bike lanes all up and down the middle of Main St., Morrow. We could stop trying to mess with Peachtree . . .and everyone would be happy. I think this is a great idea! I second Morrowman's invitation. Please, Millenials, consider moving to MORROW tomorrow!!!!

Probably just to curb the overcrowding elsewhere in the city.
