School Overview

Eastside High School sits in Covington, a small city about 35 miles east of Atlanta that's known for its charming historic square and a surprisingly active film industry — you've likely seen it as a backdrop in countless movies and TV shows. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with its strongest showing in English, making it a reasonable fit for families who value a well-rounded public school experience in a community that still has that small-town feel without being too far from metro Atlanta. Families drawn to Covington's slower pace, affordable housing, and tight-knit neighborhoods will find Eastside to be a grounded, community-connected school that reflects the character of the area it serves.
