Schools in Schley County

Both of Schley County's public schools rank in the top quartile statewide — a striking result for one of Georgia's smallest rural counties. Centered on Ellaville, this single-district system serves a modest student population across just two schools, yet both consistently outperform the majority of their peers. Schley Middle High School reaches the 91st percentile statewide, while Schley County Elementary School follows at the 83rd. Families weighing smaller districts against larger suburban systems will find that Schley's compact size hasn't come at the expense of academic performance — quite the opposite.
