Everyon ...Read More e is smiling and they are willing to help you before you even have to ask.

My children attend Kennesaw Charter Science and Math Academy and enjoy themselves. Their teachers always have them doing fun and exciting things. All of the local schools seem to have it together and the local system seems to have a great academic program in place.

The best areas in Powder Springs, Georgia include the downtown area. The area is currently undergoing renovations, but the existing shops are nice and after the renovation there will be more excellent shops and some nice dining areas. Also, if you can’t find what you need here, then you can easily travel to a neighboring town easily to find what you need. Read Less
