When parents start searching for the best high schools in Georgia, most of us begin the same way — looking at rankings, ratings, and academic performance lists.

But very quickly, the search becomes more confusing than helpful.

Every website shows different rankings. Every parent group has different opinions. And suddenly, you’re not sure what actually matters anymore.

What I realized during our own school search is this:

Most parents are not just looking for the “top ranked” school.

We are actually trying to answer very real concerns like:

Will my child be safe here?

Is the academic pressure too high?

Do students feel supported or stressed?

Are teachers approachable?

Will my child fit into this environment?

These questions matter far more than rankings alone.

Some of the highest-ranked schools in Georgia are academically excellent, but they can also be very competitive and stressful for certain students.

At the same time, some schools that don’t appear at the very top of ranking lists may offer:

better student support

healthier school culture

smaller communities

more balanced academic pressure

And honestly, that balance can completely change a teenager’s school experience.

One thing that surprised me most was how much school culture matters.

When visiting different campuses, you can immediately feel the difference:

Some schools feel high-pressure and competitive

Others feel supportive and calm

Some encourage collaboration, while others feel more individual-focused

And teenagers notice that environment every single day.

That’s why choosing a school should never be based only on numbers.

Parents searching for the best high schools in Georgia should also consider:

extracurricular opportunities

STEM and AP availability

counseling support

teacher involvement

commute and daily routine

emotional well-being of students

Because at the end of the day, high school is not just about academics — it’s about the environment your child grows up in during some of their most important years.

If there’s one thing I learned through this process, it’s this:

BTS Essentials by marleyvincent-ufm

Hey you guys! Here is my first post to kick off the series. 

Essentials you need:

Gum - Of course, gum isn’t even technically allowed at most schools but it’s still good to have even if you have to sneak it.

Pen, Pencils, Etc. - Duh. You need something to write with! I like to use mechanical pencils and there are a pack of rollerball gel pens in 5 different colors that are inexpensive and I get them every year from Dollar General lol (along with a pack of skittles *wink wink* reblog if you peep the reference ) I also like to keep highlighters on hand.

Ponytail Holders - You never know when its just too hot or when you’ll have a separate reason to pull your hair up.

Water Bottle - Whether you use a refillable bottle or  just bring a plastic bottle everyday, it’s important to stay hydrated.

Snacks - Sometimes lunch is nasty, but that doesn’t mean we have to starve. Healthier snacks like KIND bars, toasted coconut flakes, dried fruit with no added sugar and so much more are great to have.

Sanitizer - Because boys have cooties and Bath and Body works makes them smell really good.

Planner - Stay organized with due dates, practices, tests and anything else that needs to be written down. You can find cute inexpensive planners at Marshall’s and TJ Maxx

Earbuds - Self explanatory, but if you’re not sure what to listen through them, just wait for my playlist of the season.

Lip Balm - I refuse to allow you to walk around with crusty lips. Burt’s Bees and Eos are great.

Hand Cream - You can’t have crusty hands either. Bliss makes good hand cream, as does Mary Kay, The Body Shop, Shea Moisture and many more places.

Oil Blotting Sheets - Yes, the dewy look is in. No, that does not mean to let our skin have a free for all. I use the one’s made by Mary Kay but you can use Clean and Clear and even cut up coffee filters.

Pain Reliever - This is another thing you probably don't want to get caught with but there’s nothing worse than having cramps 2nd period and having to go through the whole day miserable because of heartless teachers who don’t want to let you go to the nurse's office.

Tea - You need something in the mornings to help get you going and coffee isn’t good to have everyday. I love Happy Me by English Tea Shop, Orange Chiffon by Tazo, or just any brand of green tea in the morning.

Backpack - No need to explain.

Calculator - By the time you hit the eighth or ninth grade you’re going to need a TI-84. However they can be pricey but I have a post for that.

Binders, Notebooks - How many you need of each depends on what your teachers require. I like to get Avery binders with the clear view pocket from Walmart so I can change how I decorate it as often as I please.
