Neighborhood

Situated between Avondale Estates and I-285, Kensington is a compact suburb that offers all of the tranquility of Decatur and the surrounding area while still being close to the buzzing city sites and conveniences of Atlanta.

An equal mix of affordable apartments and charming ranch-style homes, Kensington is great for families and anyone that commutes to work due to its proximity to the Perimeter, or I-285. There’s plenty to eat, drink, and see along Covington Hwy, which forms the area’s southern border. Downtown Decatur is just a hop, skip, and a jump to the west, making Kensington a fantastic setting if you want space and nearby entertainment.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
