The Fulton County School System is a school district headquartered in East Point, Georgia, United States.[3][4] The system serves the area of Fulton County, Georgia outside the Atlanta city limits (which are served by Atlanta Public Schools). Fulton County Schools serve the cities of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Mountain Park, Roswell, and Sandy Springs north of Atlanta, and Chattahoochee Hills, College Park, East Point, Fairburn, Hapeville, Palmetto, Union City, and Fulton's remaining unincorporated areas in the south. Fulton County is the fourth-largest school system in Georgia.
Fulton County has 10 percent of the state's population, being larger than eight U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The Fulton County school district is the only non-contiguous school district in the state, having a 17-mile (27 km) separation (Atlanta Public Schools) between the north and south.
As of the 2006-2007 school year, Fulton has 11,000 full-time employees, including 6,100 teachers and other certified personnel, who work in 90 schools and 15 administrative and support buildings. 86,600 students attend classes in 53 elementary schools, 18 middle schools, 12 high schools, two alternative middle/high schools, two learning centers, and 12 charter schools. Two elementary schools operate on year-round calendars.
