School Overview

Cousins Middle School sits in Covington, a historic small city about 35 miles east of Atlanta that's known for its charming antebellum courthouse square and tight-knit community feel. The school shows some relative strength in math compared to its other subjects, but families moving to Newton County should go in with realistic expectations and may want to look into supplemental support, particularly in English and science. That said, Covington's affordability and its slower-paced, community-rooted lifestyle attract families looking for a genuine small-town experience within reach of the metro Atlanta job market.
