Alpharetta-area (Fulton County) Public Schools
Alpharetta has some of the best schools in the state - and many people choose to live in Alpharetta solely for the quality of the schools. SAT scores at all four Alpharetta High Schools are in the Top Ten in Georgia.
Alpharetta's middle and elementary schools also rank very highly against metro area and state schools. Of the four Platinum Awards for high achievement given by the Single Statewide Accountability System to Fulton County schools, two were awarded to Alpharetta area elementary schools: Crabapple Crossing and Summit Hill. Seven other schools were Gold Award recipients and two received Silver Awards.
In the ranks of the Middle Schools, Haynes Bridge, Webb Bridge and Taylor Road Middle Schools are all Georgia Schools of Excellence.

Each are scored within a range of 200-800 points, combining for a total of 2400 rather than 1600.
