Both of my children attended Chamblee Charter High School from 9th through 12th grade as magnet school students. The school offers a variety of academic, artistic and athletic programs to challenge and stimulate its students. The teachers and administrators welcome parental involvement with open arms.
... Read more The teachers are supportive of the students and work tirelessly to make the educational experience exciting and challenging. The magnet program is excellent! My son recently graduated with a masters in education (within 4 years of completing high school) and has often stated that he felt more challenged at Chamblee than at college. My daughter, who recently completed her Freshman year in college, felt more than prepared for college. Both children started college with 30 college credits transferred in based on their AP scores.

I give it a B Read less
