School Overview

Fairington Elementary sits in Lithonia, a suburb on DeKalb County's eastern edge where subdivisions give way to a quieter, more spread-out pace of life than you'd find closer to Atlanta. The school's math and science scores are notably its strongest suits, which could appeal to families who prioritize STEM fundamentals in the early grades. Families looking for an affordable entry point into the greater Atlanta metro area — with a bit more breathing room than the city itself — may find Fairington worth a closer look as part of their overall decision.
