Welcome to Atlanta! Unfortunately, public schools within Atlanta, especially at the high school level are atrocious. I'm sure they would, in no way, come close to meeting the standards of what you are used to in India. Just check out the stats. Your best bet is to go private, but, unfortunately, it is too late for this school year, but it never hurts to talk to the private schools anyway.79742

Hi Mumbalkar11,
You can get admission into public schools in September. Schools are typically zoned for where you live. If you relocating for a job, don't hesitate to talk to the human resources person at the company and ask to speak with someone with kids in high school.
There are always good public school options, but sometimes you just have to look for them. You can start here: http://www.greatschools.org/find-schools/
Good luck.79802
