We moved here from from ny (upstate) as well, with a three year stop in tulsa and are loving it. From the seven years that we have been here, i can tell you that cobb and paulding are both good school districts. We are in paulding, with cobb in our back yard. Its a terrific area to raise our kids, one now 19 and went thru the middle school and high school in paulding (EPHS) and the other 11 just starting the middle school this fall. We are staying here in Georgia, loving it. Have adapted well. What the schools dont offer, the area offers it all. I beleive while its important to have your child involved in the schools clubs, it more important to have them involved outside of school as well, whether it be community service, or outside music lessons, or outside sports. Good Luck and Welcome to the area.
If you havent had a chance yet, go visit Redtop Mountain State park. Beautiful area.
