Schools in Towns County

One district, one town, three schools — Towns County's public school system is about as unified as it gets in Georgia. That simplicity doesn't mean stagnation: two of the three schools rank in the top quartile statewide, with Towns County Middle School reaching the 88th percentile and Towns County High School close behind at the 77th. Tucked into Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountain corner, Hiawassee anchors a small but coherent district where students move through a single pipeline from elementary through high school. For families weighing a rural mountain community, the academic performance here punches well above what the county's size might suggest.
