  1. Houston County Schools

    #1 Best School Districts in Macon Area

    Niche User: Academics-wise, this school district is perfect. There are plenty of teachers and staff who truly want to help you throughout your experience in school. There are plenty opportunities to get ahead in your education as well, with local colleges doing duel enrollment programs and a Career Academy that offers programs in specific career fields. The only thing I would have to say is that, although Houston County is a very diverse school system, the lack of representation was obvious. Many students of color and students of different sexual orientations and gender identities didn't feel very represented. I saw this through my own experiences at Veterans High School. Other than that, which could be easily fixed, Houston County is a great school district with

    #2 Best School Districts in Macon Area

    Junior: All good. The school academics are constantly growing. They continue to grow their Ap and dual enrollment programs, which prepare students for college, with college based classes. Only thing I would change would be the remodeling of the school. It’s a little older than most schools, but all in all, that doesn’t affect the academics.

    First Presbyterian Day School

    • Private School
    • Macon, GA
    • PK, K-12
    • 83 reviews

    Parent: Both of our children attended FPD since 4K. The experience is way more than just a college prep school in Christian environment. It goes beyond that. Teachers are trained to integrate biblical truths into the subject being taught. They challenge students with a rigorous curriculum, with honors and AP options - and love and support them along the way. From art, band and chorus to soccer, tennis and football to community service and missions... there are plenty of opportunities for kids to identify and develop gifts and serve others. The culture was uplifting. Even the lunches were amazing! No better investment into the lives of our kids!

  6. Peach County Schools

    • School District
    • Fort Valley, GA
    • 21 reviews

    Senior: Peach county schools have always been a challenge. The schools always strive for success in any & everything. As i go through school i realize that its going to get harder. However, i do feel that there are changes that need to be made, but it will also take time. Changes that should be made would be dress code, and the food. Those are two major things that i feel that people complain about. I know that’s its not all about that, but education is the most important. Us students that are seniors are working hard to get everything done to graduate, but it’s also important for underclassmen to do the same. Working hard from the time you get in school til it’s time to get out will lead you a long way.

  7. Bibb County Schools

    • School District
    • Macon, GA
    • 73 reviews

    Senior: I love my district! All of the staff treats everyone with kind and respect. I also love the sports being performed by our many athletes. They work so hard and diligently to win every challenge that steps in front of them. However, I would like for a change to occur within the food and nutrients served. Most off the food is nasty and uncooked causing many illness. Although this is an awesome district to attend there has also been flaws just like any other.

  11. Crawford County Schools

    • School District
    • Roberta, GA
    • 9 reviews

    Senior: I have attended the Crawford County School System since beginning school in Kindergarden, and the experience has been overall very positive. The schools are small, and this allows the teachers to know their students by name and teach in a more individualized way to better benefit their students. Like all schools, you get out what you put into it, and if you work hard at Crawford, you will get a ton out of the experience.
