Adventures in Househunting – Schools

If you have been following my house hunting journey, you know that I have already decided to buy in Cobb County. Last week, I received an email listing the top 50 schools in Georgia, and where they rank nationally. Newsweek just ranked the top 1,000 schools in the country, and I spent some time looking over this list to see if any of the areas I am looking are included.

This helped me to further narrow down the areas I would like to buy. I am not saying that I am not open to other schools, but buying in one of the top school districts will help me resell my house if I choose, or it will be nice to know that my future children are receiving a good education. For now, I am looking in Walton, Campbell and Lassiter high school districts.

Also for me to remember is that these lists change yearly. Who is on top today, may not be next year. Luckily, Cobb County as a whole has a great school district (I know first hand, as a graduate from Walton High myself). I think that if I buy in any Cobb district included on the list, I am buying wisely.
