CLASSIC CITY HIGH SCHOOL

Classic City High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Clarke County school district, located in Athens, GA with about 109 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Classic City High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Classic City High School, located at 440 Dearing Extension in Athens, Georgia, is a specialized alternative high school within the Clarke County School District.

Beyond its focus on academics, Classic City High School emphasizes character development, student engagement, and preparation for life after graduation, whether that involves higher education, vocational training, or the workforce. The school offers a unique community-oriented atmosphere that prioritizes strong relationships between students and faculty. By providing a non-traditional pathway to success, the institution plays a critical role in the district’s efforts to ensure that all students in Athens have the resources necessary to earn their diplomas and achieve their long-term goals.
