Honestly it was a great experience and taught me how Georgia was and what living here is like. If you want to know what school to go to in order to receive a full Georgia experience go to Locust Grove High School. Many students I know and many of my peers were successful in graduating and went to very prestigious colleges. Some even got accepted into Harvard from what I was told. The current principal is also great and really acknowledges his students and creates the best environment for them.
