School Overview

Cedar Grove High School sits in Ellenwood, a quiet, close-knit community on the southern edge of DeKalb County where neighbors tend to know each other and school pride runs deep. The school punches above its overall ranking in Science and English, making it a solid choice for families who value strong core academics in a more laid-back, suburban setting away from the bustle of Atlanta proper. Families looking for a tight community feel — rather than the high-pressure environment of some of DeKalb's more competitive corridors — may find Cedar Grove a comfortable and genuinely supportive fit.
