Gainesville City Schools

Gainesville City School System was one of the first four charter systems in Georgia and earned its charter status in June 2008. In 2013, the district received a ten year charter - which extends to June 2023. As a charter system, our Board of Education utilizes flexibility in local school governance to provide innovative learning environments for approximately 8,000 students. The Gainesville City Board of Education is recognized as a 2018 Quality School Board by the Georgia School Boards Association. The School Board is committed to maintaining compliance in all state-mandated standards for local school board governance while providing quality education to all children.
