School Reviews
5 3/16/2017
Northgate is great, there are some lazy teachers, but for the most part a very good school. Make sure you are aware that the curriculum for Coweta county is different from most counties in Georgia. My kids came from a different county and found out that they was behind in the requirements for this county and ended up in lower grades. It was very devastating and I wish someone had warned us before we transferred them here.
