School Information
As a former educator, Lesley encourages our clients to research and tour schools to make sure the school you are considering is a good fit for your child! You can’t judge a book by a cover and you can’t judge schools by statistics alone. However, over the years, we have found a good starting place for our home buyers are the Georgia Report Cards published by the Georgia Public Policy Foundation. These reports rank schools throughout the state of Georgia and can be a great resource. However, please don’t use these alone. Take a tour of your child’s school and make sure you feel comfortable!
