Stephenson Middle School

Stephenson Middle School sits in the Stone Mountain area of DeKalb County, a community with deep roots and a genuinely diverse mix of families who've called this corner of metro Atlanta home for generations. The school shows more strength in math and science than in English, which might appeal to families with kids who lean toward quantitative subjects — and there's room to grow across the board. Stone Mountain itself offers that suburban-with-character feel, close enough to Atlanta for all the city has to offer but with its own distinct neighborhood identity that makes it feel like more than just another suburb.
