Our buildings consist of one pre-kindergarten/early learning center, five K-6 elementary schools, five K-8 schools, one middle school, two high schools, and a K-12 alternative education program as well as a social-emotional alternative program. Three of our facilities are magnet schools, including a pre-K to 8th grade Montessori school, K-8 fine arts program, and K-8 STEM academy. The District is also the administrative agent for the Macon-Piatt Special Education District, serving special needs students from member school districts in two counties.
