There's a lot to love about this school. The increasingly diverse student population presents a few challenges that you sometimes see reflected in less-than-stellar standardized test scores (still well above average for Georgia), but it also creates a wonderful climate where students experience and learn to embrace the diversity of others. The teachers and admins are unusually dedicated - sometimes to a fault, because you can often find them working well after school hours. I say to a fault because they aren't paid for that extra work, but that's another conversation for another day! (Full disclosure - I am not a classroom teacher and I am able to do most of my own unpaid work from home). Also exceptional are the school's facility (thanks to an award-winning custodial staff) and its clubs and activities, including a chess club, robotics club and a robust choral music program for all students K-5.
