Located in the north of the Windsor community in Sandy Springs, this public K-5 school prides itself on being an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program World School since 2018, with a focus on teaching students to be internationally minded, and help the world become a better place. In addition to academics, High Point offers a slate of extracurriculars including Championship Chess, held every Thursday, or Expressions in Motion which teaches the power of dance.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
