About schools in Paulding County

Northwest of Atlanta, Paulding County has grown rapidly as families have traded city traffic for more affordable ground in Dallas and Hiram — and its single school district has had to scale accordingly, now spanning 33 ranked public schools. Most of those schools land in the middle of Georgia's performance range, but Sammy McClure Sr. Middle School and Burnt Hickory Elementary both reach the 83rd percentile statewide, signaling real strength at the elementary and middle levels. Families drawn here for the suburban-rural balance will find a consolidated district that's managing growth with some notable bright spots worth a closer look.
