School Overview

Dug Gap Elementary sits in the hills just southwest of Dalton, a mid-sized North Georgia city best known as the "Carpet Capital of the World" and a gateway to the Appalachian foothills. The school performs solidly above average in English and math, making it a reasonable choice for families settling into Dalton's more residential, quieter outskirts. Families who value a close-knit school community with a small-town feel — while still having easy access to Dalton's local amenities and the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains — will likely feel right at home here.
