The advertisements everywhere are prompting parents to begin the annual preparations for the first day of school. As realtors at Lake Oconee, we also suggest that parents prepare for school by buying a home in a good school district. The Lake Oconee area offers many alternatives for education of children, including both public, private, and charter schools. Families who have school-aged children should research which schools provide the best environment for them.
We happen to have two listings in the best school zone around the Lake Oconee area: Lake Oconee Academy. The release of state CRCT test scores brings accolades for high performing schools across Georgia and Greene County’s Lake Oconee Academy is at the top of the list! The Greensboro, Ga., public charter school is the highest performing elementary public charter school in the state as noted by the Georgia Charter School Association, and the third highest performing public elementary school as listed by the website schooldigger.com.
Many education oriented families are buying homes in Reynolds Plantation’s The Landing. Homes there are in the primary attendance zone for Lake Oconee Academy. The Landing also has many amenities that appeal to children. Check out these two homes for sale that are both perfect with lots of space for the whole family, and are in the best school zone, also!
