Buying a home
Every public school district in the counties we serve, with Georgia's own school ratings, how to confirm a home's zoned schools, and homes for sale in each school's zone.
How school zones work
In Georgia, a home's address decides its public schools. Each school district draws attendance zones for its elementary, middle and high schools, and districts redraw them as neighborhoods grow and new schools open. A few city school districts (Buford, Commerce, Gainesville, Jefferson and Social Circle) sit inside a county, so two homes a street apart can be in different districts.
Search homes by school on Find a home: type a school's name in the search bar, or pick a school district under Advanced search.
Listings, websites and maps (ours included) can be out of date. If a school matters to you, look up the address with the district's school locator, then call the district to confirm, and do it before your due diligence period ends. Each district page below has the locator and phone number.
CCRPI (College and Career Ready Performance Index) is Georgia's 0 to 100 score for every public school, and it's the score on the state's School Grades Reports. It combines how students do on the Georgia Milestones tests (Content Mastery), how much they grow from year to year (Progress), whether every group of students is improving (Closing Gaps), readiness measures like reading on grade level, attendance and advanced coursework (Readiness) and, for high schools, the graduation rate.
Georgia gave schools A to F letter grades through 2018–19 and now publishes the number only, so we show the number next to Georgia's average.
Test scores say a lot but not everything. Visit, ask about class sizes, programs and activities, and talk to families nearby.
Ratings and stats are Georgia's own public data: the Georgia School Grades Reports and College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) scores, enrollment, graduation rates, Georgia Milestones results and teacher counts, published by the Governor's Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) with the Georgia Department of Education, plus school locations from the National Center for Education Statistics. We don't use paid ratings sites. Numbers are for the school year shown and the state can revise them.
Attendance zones are drawn from each district's own published zone maps where the district shares them (source and date on each district page), and district lines from the U.S. Census Bureau. They're our best map of the lines, not the district's official word: always confirm a home's schools with the district.
