Schools in Gilmer County

About schools in Gilmer County

Deep in the Blue Ridge foothills, Gilmer County runs a single district out of Ellijay — a small system where every school shares the same mountain-town zip code. With just five ranked public schools, families won't find a sprawling menu of options, but the district punches reasonably well for its size. Clear Creek Middle School leads the county at the 79th percentile statewide, with Clear Creek Elementary close behind at the 71st. English and overall performance at both schools outpace most Georgia peers. For families relocating to apple-country Ellijay, the schools reflect a compact, focused district worth a close look.
