High Schools

Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science & Technology
#1 in Best Public High Schools in Georgia

Grade levels: 9-12
School type: Public
Location: Lawrenceville, GA
Distance from Château Élan: 22 miles
Ratings: Niche (A+), Great Schools (9/10)

Helpful reviews on the Niche and Great Schools websites:

“Phenomenal school. Excellent staff. Thriving environment. The students are exceptional and their grades are exemplary.”

“By infinite Possibilities, GSMST means Infinite possibilities. As a student here, the curriculum is challenging, but you must work hard to succeed. I know more people in one semester than I do in one year. The extracurricular activities are great for those who love technology (Science Olympiad, Robotics, etc.) Speaking of Robotics, the robotics program is huge. The lack of sports at this school is hardly a disappointment, for we have intramurals. Did I mention the TECHNOLOGY? Teachers utilize technology every day using document cameras, laptops, projectors, etc. If you are willing to have a challenging curriculum, great friends, great teachers, and technology, I would recommend this school to you.”

 

Mill Creek High School
#28 in Best Public High Schools in Georgia

Grade levels: 9-12
School type: Public
Location: Hoschton, GA

“Mill Creek has a diverse student body, with modern facilities. Its large student population of 4,000 students, makes you feel like you’re at a junior college! Some drawbacks the school has and could fix include the counseling office. It would be nice if the counseling office better prepared their students for university and the process of applying to college.”

“Mill Creek is the biggest and one of the top schools in Gwinnett County as it employs some of the best teachers in the state and wins several awards each year for its students’ overachieving test scores. The school has over 3,800 students yet its amazing sports programs and dedicated teachers make each and every student feel special.”
