East Cobb Schools-Top in the Nation According to Newsweek Magazine
For those of us who already live in the East Cobb section of Marietta, Georgia, this probably does not come as a big surprise. We have known for a long time that East Cobb has the one of the highest qualities of education for our children. It’s why we moved here. It’s why we searched and searched for the right home here. It’s why we love it here…among many many other reasons.
But, for those of you who are thinking about moving to East Cobb, let me give you three reasons to go ahead and make that move:
Walton High School
Lassiter High School
Pope High School
These three schools were recognized by Newsweek Magazine as America’s Top Public High Schools.
Walton came in at #90 out of 1500 schools in the United States ranked according to a ratio devised by Jay Mathews: the number of Advanced Placement, Intl. Baccalaureate and/or Cambridge tests taken by all students at a school in 2008 divided by the number of graduating seniors. All of the schools on the list have an index of at least 1.000; they are in the top 6 percent of public schools measured this way. (If you have questions about the list, please contact challenge@washpost.com).
Lassiter came in next at #364 and Pope came in at #1072. Not bad for a state that as a whole is lagging a little on the quality of education it offers. This is exactly why East Cobb is still a sought after area of North Metro Atlanta.
You get a “private school” education at a public school price.
Not only that, East Cobb has a small town sort of vibe to it. Everything is close by. Dining, shopping, churches, entertainment. You don’t have to go far from home to enjoy the quality of life that East Cobb offers. So, for that reason, you see folks you know nearly everywhere you go. Hence, giving you that small town feel, within minutes of the big city.
