North Fulton high schools were well represented in the most recent 2011 report of SAT scores in Georgia. Six Fulton County schools made the top 20 list in the state. While Fulton County Schools have done a great job with students I think what we really see is a clear indication of the level of parental involvement in North Fulton County; and also a very real example of why so many families are relocating in North Atlanta choose the cities of Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Cumming and Johns Creek.
Northview High School – 1751 (No. 3)
Chattahoochee High School – 1694 (No. 6)
Alpharetta High School – 1679 (No. 8 )
Milton High School – 1659 (No. 12)
Riverwood International Charter School – 1652 (No. 13)
Roswell High School – 1645 (No. 14)
While Northview technically ranks third in the state, the two higher-scoring schools had only 7 and 119 students, respectively, taking the test. By comparison, 576 Northview students took the SAT in 2011.
