We moved to Fayetteville, Georgia from California in March of 2021. We chose our new home, based on the wonderful things we had learned about the schools while researching different areas in Georgia. Everything I had read about the Fayette County schools is true! We were greeted last spring by the kindest staff at Braelinn Elementary School. We instantly felt welcomed by the administration, office staff, and teachers. They anticipated our needs and questions and went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. This year we have become part of the family at Rising Starr Middle School in Fayette County. They welcomed parents and students by hosting a very informative question and answer meeting as well as a tour of the campus. We felt informed and ready to start the new year! The campus is so clean and the staff has implemented protocols to ensure the staff and students’ safety during the COVID pandemic. Our experience in these two Fayette County schools has been excellent!
As far as administration, rules were enforced effectively and staff does a good job of maintaining others safety and security. However as far as discrimination, both of these issues are still very prevalent; not just from student on to student, but even teacher to student. In addition, bullying and social misconduct is often ignored in this district and sometimes staff do not punish or enforce proper social interaction here.
Fayette county public schools from the outside looking in looks like a great school system for children to learn , grow and thrive in. However, this isn’t necessarily the case. If you already do well in school and stay focused, you’ll be fine. However, if the staff believes you are “too far gone” academically, they will not help you, especially in middle/high school. A lot of the white staff can be very prejudice to people of color who are either fellow staff or students. I’ve personally had many micro aggressive interactions in this school system and did not appreciate it. However, most of the staff knows how to do their job and teach the curriculum, even if it’s bare minimum. The buildings are nice, even though they need an exterminator, and the counseling departments at most of the high schools need to be fired.
