School Overview

Fifth Avenue Upper Elementary sits in the heart of Decatur, one of metro Atlanta's most walkable and community-driven cities, where independent coffee shops, farmers markets, and a strong sense of civic pride define daily life. Academics here are genuinely impressive — top-percentile scores across English, math, and science put it among Georgia's strongest elementary programs — and it draws families who want rigorous schooling without leaving the tight-knit, quirky character of Decatur behind. If you're the kind of family that values both intellectual depth and a neighborhood where you actually know your neighbors, this school is hard to beat.
