Thoughts on the schools for the Maple Lawn/Fulton area?

Looking at relocating there and wondering about the elementary, middle, and high schools.

I grew up in that area and my family still live there, but I don't personally have kids in the schools. I have nieces and nephews, and tons of friends with kids all around that area.

The elementary and middle schools are good. Reservoir High is a fairly new high school, and it hasn't been the best. It's not horrible, but it doesn't have as high a graduation rate as most high schools in the county, fewer kids go on to college, and there are some discipline/security issues. Another neighborhood, Hammond Village (close by but with much older homes), feeds into Atholton High, which gets good ratings/scores.

Lime Kiln is the MS for that area and has amazing test scores.

I know several kids at Fulton elementary and I attend some events there sometimes. Everyone seems really really happy. I don't know anyone at the middle school, but I do know a lot of the high school kids, and I end up in that building a lot after hours. Overall, very impressed with the kids. Normal kids, relatively diverse. A few might be partiers but it's way way better than the schools in my own neighborhood. I'd be pretty happy if they were my neighborhood schools.
