A high quality of education is one of the biggest reasons families settle in Fayette and Coweta counties. The award-winning school systems are among the highest rated in the state. And that’s not all—there are also excellent private schools, pre-schools, university programs and continuing education throughout the area.

The Fayette County School System covers Brooks, Fayetteville, Peachtree City, Tyrone and Woolsey; the communities of Newnan, Sharpsburg, Thomas Crossroads, Senoia, Moreland, Grantville, Turin and Haralson are served by the Coweta County School System. Both school systems show test scores above the national average and have been recognized repeatedly for their standards and achievements.

All 28 of the Fayette County School System schools met the AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) requirements in 2009. AYP, Adequate Yearly Progress, measures year-to-year student achievement and is a cornerstone of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
