Schools in Charlton County

About schools in Charlton County

Folkston anchors nearly all of public education in Charlton County, a rural stretch of far southeast Georgia where a single district serves just four schools. Despite its modest size, the county punches above its weight at the elementary level — St. George Elementary ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide, and Folkston Elementary follows at the 86th, both drawing strong marks in English and math. Half the county's ranked schools land in the top quartile statewide, a notable achievement for a small system. Families with younger children in particular will find the elementary options genuinely competitive by Georgia standards.
