The College Board recently released results showing that the Fulton County School System has more schools with high SAT performance than any other district in Georgia.
Five north Fulton schools are among the top 20 highest scoring schools in the state, with Northview High School at No. 3 with an average score of 1751, Chattahoochee High School at No. 6 with 1694, Alpharetta High School at No. 8 with 1679, Milton High School at No. 12 with 1659 and Roswell High School at No. 14 with 1645.
“It’s easy to go up and down each year and question your tactics, but when you have consistent improvement for five consecutive years, you know you’re on the right track,” said Tim Duncan, principal of Chattahoochee High. “The results validate our staff’s commitment to professional development and confirm our student’s dedication to reaching our high expectations.” Read the rest of this entry »

I have a somewhat newer client I have been assisting in finding a great home in the Sweet Apple Elementary district in Roswell. They were insistent on making sure they stay in that district since it is where they are currently zoned now. We went ahead and set up a Buyer Gateway/Organic Search for that area and their price point and off we went.
Unbeknownst to me, the client started to open up their area of interest to other parts of Roswell including the Mountain Park and Roswell North Elementary districts. They started to go online to some of the search sites like Zillow and Trulia among others. After a month or so they sent me a list of eight homes they wanted to see. We set a time and I went to the office to begin scheduling. There was only one small problem. Of the eight homes, only one was still currently active on the market. Three had pending offers, a couple has been sold and a couple has been withdrawn from the market.
Here’s the rub and this is what all home buyers should know but few do- online search sites like Zillow, Trulia, Redfin etc etc the list goes on and on have information that is 100% populated by individual agents. They are not linked directly to the listing services. Agents are more than happy to enter the information on these sites to advertise when a home is first listed. But once the home has an offer or is sold or is taken off the market there is no incentive to update their posts with the new information. Read the rest of this entry »

With the warmer weather gradually taking hold, now is the time to take advantage of the numerous recreational opportunities offered by north Fulton municipalities.
Of special interest are some of the cities’ newest projects and facilities.
“We are getting ready to begin renovation of the Bethwell Community Center,” said Milton’s director of Parks and Recreation, Cyndee Bonacci. “This is a building built in the early 1950s that has been used over the years for community gatherings, meetings, family functions and programs.”
The renovation project to the 1,300 sq ft building on Hopewell Road should be awarded in early April and should be complete by late May, Bonacci said. Read the rest of this entry »
