About schools in Polk County

Tucked into Georgia's northwestern corner near the Alabama border, Polk County has a distinctly small-town, working-class character that carries through to its single school district serving Cedartown and Rockmart. With 10 ranked public schools and none yet breaking into the top quartile statewide, the district reflects the challenges common to rural Northwest Georgia — but Cedartown High School reaches the 56th percentile statewide, edging ahead of roughly half the state's schools, with Rockmart High School close behind at the 49th. Families relocating to this corner of Georgia will find a modest but developing public school landscape worth watching.
