In addition to an award-winning band program and a multi-million dollar facility, this Fulton County high school has gained another coveted distinction.
For the second year in a row, John's Creek's Northview High School ranked No. 3 on the list of the Top 100 High Schools in Georgia by Niche.com, a national publication and website that ranks K-12 schools and colleges for its students' test scores, health and safety, and school culture.
Fulton County beats out the rest of metro Atlanta for the most schools on the list -- with six schools. John Creek's Northview High comes in third place, Suwanee's Lambert High takes the fourth and Johns Creek High rounds out Niche's top five list of Georgia high schools.
