Both consistently exceed the state of Georgia’s graduation rates and standardized test score averages.

Families also have access to excellent private and specialty school options, including Darlington School, Berry Elementary and Middle School, Unity Christian School, St. Mary’s Catholic School, Montessori School, and the new Northwest Georgia Charter Academy, opening in 2026.
