My granddaughter is a 3d grader at Oak Grove Elementary in DeKalb . It is still rated as one of the best public schools in the Atlanta Metro area with test scores equal to or exceeding the best schools in the suburban and exurban systems. There are other elementary, middle and high schools in DeKalb with similar results. It is a shame that children will be punished for the childish actions of a few sorry azz adults.

BTW: My granddaughter's mother attended Morningside in the Atlanta system...then and now one of the metro's best.
The quality of schools is more influenced by the socio-economic demographic of the student body and the extent to which parents are involved than any other single factor. Lester Maddox once famously said "Georgia will never have a good prison system until we get a better class of prisoner". Same goes for students and schools.
