🎓 The Athens School That Consistently Sent Grads to Princeton, Harvard, Yale, and Stanford
That's one graduating class: 84 seniors, off to 39 colleges across 20 states, including UGA, Georgia Tech, Duke, and the names above.
Athens Academy has been consistently producing outcomes like this for almost six decades, and Niche currently ranks it the #1 private school in Northeast Georgia.
Behind those results: a student-teacher ratio around 6 to 1, on one campus that runs from K3 through 12th grade, so the teacher who spots a fourth grader's gift for writing or math is part of the same faculty guiding them toward it in high school.
Academics share equal billing with arts, athletics, and service, so the same school turns out Scholastic art award winners, state championship teams, and kids who've been practicing leadership since Preschool.
And before you file this under "not in our budget," ask first: need-based financial aid is available, and applying for it has zero effect on admission, because admission decisions are finished before the aid committee ever sees a family's file.
Applications are reviewed year-round, and a tour costs you nothing but an hour.
If you've ever wondered what's possible for your kid, walk the campus and find out with real information.
Schedule a tour at athensacademy.org or call the Admission Office at (706)-433-2599. Mention Athens Scoop!

🔧 Fix the Appliance Before It Damages the House
A leaking dishwasher, an overheating dryer, or a refrigerator that will not stay cold can turn one appliance problem into damaged floors, swollen cabinets, spoiled food, or a much larger repair.
The U.S. Fire Administration estimates 2,900 residential dryer fires each year, with mechanical and electrical malfunctions among the leading contributing factors.
