School Overview

Talley Street Upper Elementary sits in the heart of Decatur, one of metro Atlanta's most beloved small cities — the kind of place where neighbors actually know each other, local coffee shops are packed on weekday mornings, and walkability is a real lifestyle, not just a selling point. The school serves grades 3–5 within the highly regarded City Schools of Decatur district, which punches well above its size with strong academics across the board, and Talley Street reflects that with top-tier English and science scores alongside a well-rounded curriculum. Families who prioritize a tight-knit community feel, progressive values, and genuine neighborhood schools will find a lot to love here — and the surrounding Decatur vibe only sweetens the deal.
