Schools in Montgomery County

Mount Vernon and Ailey anchor this small, rural county in southeast Georgia, where a single district runs just three public schools serving students from elementary through high school. All three campuses carry the Montgomery County name, and the high school in Mount Vernon leads the pack at the 46th percentile statewide — solid middle-of-the-road performance for a district of this size. English and math scores reflect the challenges common to rural Georgia, with no schools currently reaching the top quartile. Families relocating here will find a compact, straightforward system with limited school choice but a clear sense of where each campus stands.
