About schools in DeKalb County

Thirty-one of DeKalb County's 134 ranked public schools score in the top quartile statewide — a notable concentration of high performers across a large, urban-suburban system spanning five districts and cities from Decatur to Lithonia. At the very top, Kittredge Magnet School and Wadsworth Magnet School for High Achievers both reach the 100th percentile statewide, with exceptional marks in both math and English. That range — from nationally competitive magnets to neighborhood schools across Stone Mountain and Atlanta — means families have genuinely varied options to weigh, and the county rewards careful research into individual schools rather than broad assumptions about any single district.
