@Zinhead I agree with your assessment of the metro atlanta area, although there are some consistently good school systems that have remained good for the last decade or so. Although I will say I see the writing on the wall with our school district-growth is killing the golden goose.
Good education is a moving target here, although we’re doing much better now than 30 years ago-look at the PSAT NMSF selection index number for Georgia is the same as Illinois. (219)
Like @itsgettingreal17 we’re downsizing when D2 goes to college in 2018, and I will happily not give a hoot about how good the school is-just how close to the sand we are :).
