Fulton County is the fourth largest school district in Georgia with 108 schools with more than 89,450 students, 10,900 full-time personnel, including more than 6,900 certified personnel. There are 59 elementary schools, 19 middle schools, 19 high schools (includes two open campus high schools), 10 start-up charter organizations and one full-time virtual school. Four of the top high schools in Georgia are located in or around Alpharetta. Being a part of the Learning Zone 7, Alpharetta public schools boast high test scores, rigorous academic curricula and competitive athletic programs.

high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia and over 414 high schools In Georgia.

Additionally, seven Fulton County high schools rank within the top 15 highest scoring schools in Georgia, with the majority of them located in the Alpharetta and surrounding community. According to the College Board, Fulton has more schools with high SAT performance than any other district in Georgia. Going on the ideology that the main hope of a nation lies in the education of its youth, Alpharetta high schools are doing it right when it comes to laying a foundation that fosters a love of learning and a curriculum that teaches students to think. Outstanding teachers, exceptional leadership and governance, a challenging and stimulating curriculum, high test scores, dedication to the arts, competitive athletic programs, a vibrant cocurricular life evidenced by a variety of clubs and organizations, and ample opportunities for community involvement demonstrate why Alpharetta’s educational efforts work hard to take its students onward and upward. Alpharetta recognizes that high quality early childhood programs are not only great for students and their parents, they also serve as great economic stabilizers and equalizers. Good schools bring more residents (and jobs) to the area which helps to increase the availability of taxpayer money to fund community improvements. Alpharetta’s exceptional primary and secondary schools are led by educated, talented, and forward-thinking administrators, teachers and support staff who focus on curriculum diversity and pay much attention to early intervention protocols to foster academic growth from the ground up. All seven of Alpharetta’s or surrounding area middle schools, including Amana Academy, show exemplary test assessment rates. According to GreatSchools, collectively, these middle schools continue to demonstrate a proficiency rate as high as 99% for all core subjects. Based on these stats, ratings and test scores, it is abundantly clear that throughout the school day in Alpharetta, there is a whole lot of learning, thinking, and discovery going on to propagate a student body awesomely prepared to take on life’s challenges long after high school graduation. Fulton County has 19 high schools. Seven (7) are in Alpharetta or surrounding areas; five (5) of those seven rank among Georgia’s best – as measured by U.S. News & World Report’s STEM test scores and college-readiness indices. A high school education focused on strong STEM curricula (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) can help teenagers develop problem-solving skills and provide them with a foundation to pursue a number of growing, in-demand careers. Alpharetta’s AP® test performance stats showed high participation rates and excellent scores among students: 68% of Alpharetta high school students took an average of 4 AP® test exams before they graduated. 90% of these students passed the exams affording them the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school and proving their readiness to take on more challenging material after graduation.

On March 26, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education (US ED) approved Georgia’s waiver of several accountability, school identification, and report card requirements. Thus, there are no CCRPI summary scores for the state, school districts, or schools. In order to provide stakeholders with data that can assist in understanding the impact of the pandemic on student learning and support student learning in the future, available CCRPI-related data are reported in the 2021 data files. Please visit:www.gadoe.org for further clarification. This year, as an added feature, we included data from 2022 U.S.News & World Report Rankings. The U.S. News & World Report K-12 directory encompasses 101,279 preschools, elementary, middle school and high schools throughout the United States. You can conduct a search based on the state, district or city near you. The data on student diversity, teachers, counselors, test scores and district spending can help you find the right school for your child. Middle and
elementary schools are ranked on their performance on state-required tests, graduation rate and how well they prepare their students for high school. Georgia high school students must earn at least 23 credits in various subjects to graduate. Students are assessed in English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies using the Georgia Milestones Assessment System.

Innovation Academy
WHO WE ARE
Innovation Academy is a STEM magnet high school that provides an educational experience that will help push students to be creators and problem-solvers for a continuously changing world.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that effective learning cannot be isolated from the world around us. To truly learn something, people need to be engaged in a real-world environment where they learn to work in teams, communicate effectively, and practice critical analysis and creative problem-solving to understand how the knowledge they gain in class actually helps them after leaving our school. We believe that students learn best when they get to do and redo. Students need to try things, experiment and test; then reflect and try again.
WHAT WE DO
Our problem-based learning curriculum allows students the freedom to actively engage in their education. They will work in teams to solve complex problems, like providing safe drinking water to people in disaster zones. These projects allow students to gain deep understanding of learning standards by seeing them applied in a real-world setting. Requiring students to complete a career pathway in healthcare science, engineering, or information technology allows students to study STEM standards through the lens of some of the most cutting edge career opportunities in our modern world. This connects core content class objectives with practical applications. Students will complete a self-selected culminating project which ensures students will be able to apply the knowledge they gained in their course work with the less-tangible, but equally important skills such as teamwork, communication, critical thinking and creative problem-solving. Employers at all levels claim these skills are most important for students to develop. Practical application and mastery of all these skills is essential to be a leader in today’s workforce.
WHAT WE EXPECT
There are only a few, although important, requirements to join us at Innovation Academy.
WE EXPECT OUR STUDENTS TO BE:
Passionate: Do you care deeply for one or more subjects whether you are learning in school or on your own? Curious: Do you look for answers to questions even when it takes effort? Humble: Are you ok with being wrong? Are you ok seeking out answers by asking others? Problem-seekers: Do you like to find challenges in the world around you? Problem-solvers: Does it bother you when you don't know the answer to something? Will you work hard to find the answer? If you answer yes to these questions and are a hard worker, you will excel at Innovation Academy.

King’s Ridge Christian School
is a very special place. Among our strengths, there are a number of things that set us apart. First, it is a place of great intellectual activity and academic rigor. We seek to be the best in the world at providing a Christian college-preparatory program for students in grades Pre-K - 12; teaching students to view all learning through a Biblical template. Second, we have a passion to bring every student into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ while equipping our students to do with all excellence that which God calls them to do. From our founding in 2001 until now, our enduring mission has been to be a Christian community providing a college preparatory education equipping student to know, to serve, and to believe in Christ. Third, we’re preparing young men and women not just for college but also for life. Our aim is to educate not indoctrinate. Students not only have the freedom but also the encouragement to pursue knowledge, as well as their giftedness and calling, to the fullest extent possible. It would be my honor to introduce you to the King’s Ridge Christian School that I’ve come to know: a place where learning is contagious, the faculty is engaging, faith is deepened, and exciting things are happening. If you share the same passion and mission and are interested in experiencing it, I hope you’ll pay us a visit. Dr. Edward Spurka, Head of School
