Is your zoned school on the Promise list? Metro Atlanta lookup

How do I check if my Atlanta address is in a Promise zone?

Look up the public schools your address is zoned to, then find them in the table below. The 2026-27 Promise list includes 112 schools in Atlanta Public Schools and the Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb and Gwinnett county systems, and a child zoned to any listed school meets the zoning test.

Your district's school-locator tool gives your zoned elementary, middle and high school. GESA's pre-screen tool on mygeorgiapromise.org runs the same check before you apply.

Which metro school system has the most Promise-eligible schools?

DeKalb County, with 52 schools on the 2026-27 list, followed by Atlanta Public Schools with 31. Gwinnett has 15, Fulton County Schools 8 and Cobb 6. City Schools of Decatur and Marietta City Schools have none on the list.

When does the Promise zone list change?

Once a year. The Governor's Office of Student Achievement releases the list at the end of each calendar year, and it applies to the following year; the list shown here is the 2025 list for the 2026-27 academic year.
