Sandtown Schools vs. nearby Atlanta Schools - best of the worst?

Compare for yourself ratings from the “Great Schools” website of Sandtown (Fulton County) Schools vs nearby Atlanta Schools...

Out of a best score of TEN, with most scores in both Sandtown and the companion APS schools getting a THREE, the big question is why are these schools in both school systems rated poorly?  Clearly the school system label really does not matter!

Fulton schools overall look good, but that is because of the high achievement in north Fulton schools, while there is abysmal performance in south Fulton.  Sorry I can’t get excited about razor thin margins of one system over the other - in the worst of the worst.

For many parents that have false preconceived notions of superiority of one system over another, this should be a wake-up call whichever system their children attend or might attend.  There are other metrics that confirm these ratings.

Let's raise the bar for all of our children in south county wherever they go to school and not poke our chest out over mediocrity and being the Best of the Worst.
