Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Regions Atlanta?

Bumping as Atlanta is once again looking likely. Anyone with info. on specific East Cobb schools would love your feedback! I am interested in feeder schools to Walton/Pope/Lassiter.
dd11 5th grade MG-HG (Need to have her re-tested to qualify for services) Loves violin and I am thinking Mabry might have the best orchestra program? She is not as into science as english/art/history.
ds8 Down syndrome--until now fully included with typical peers and 1:1 aide in Montessori--I would not want him in self-contained class--he would prob. be placed in 2nd grade
dd4 some sort of gifted--I suspect at least HG--major psychomotor OE (possibly ADHD but I really don't think so) NOT a people pleaser if she is bored(well more with teachers than Mom, lol!) and would prob. really love the science lab at Tritt. Also--Asian, so for her at least in terms of having other Asian girls in her class (the complete absence of which has been tough for her), it seems the feeders to Walton would meet that need...but is that school too competitive?

Any info. would be great!
Thanks!

I have to second someone suggestion of Woodward....I lived and grew up in Atlanta and attended Woodward Academy for most of my schooling....my memories of Woodward and the education I got there were the most amazing years of my life and I actually learned more there then then I did in college. The quality of the classes I took were unreal and small and the sports/arts programs are like nothing I have ever seen in any other school. Amazing school

I know Atlanta has some great private schools. If we won the lottery I think Paideia would be our choice. But, private schools aren't in the picture for us going forward. Thanks for the feedback though!
