Summary

McIntosh High School in Peachtree City, GA, is a top-ranked public high school serving 1,762 students in grades 9-12, part of the highly rated Fayette County district.

McIntosh is one of Georgia's premier high schools, ranking 18th out of 455 schools statewide (96th percentile) with a 5-star rating. Its 98.2% graduation rate far exceeds the state average of 87.2%, and its dropout rate of just 0.7% is dramatically lower than the state's 2.8%. Academically, the school shines in Biology, where 76.5% of students are proficient—nearly 30 points above the state average. Algebra I and U.S. History proficiency rates also substantially outperform state averages. What truly sets McIntosh apart is its consistency: the school has ranked between 10th and 23rd statewide for the past decade, never dropping below the 94th percentile. This stability extends to all student groups, with every demographic subgroup—including African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students—ranking in the 90th percentile or higher statewide, a rare achievement in equitable excellence.

Compared to nearby schools, McIntosh and Starrs Mill High School form the top tier in Fayette County, both ranking in the top 20 statewide. McIntosh's Biology proficiency (76.5%) exceeds Whitewater High School (73.5%) and far surpasses Fayette County High School (48.7%). The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending $12,260 per student—notably less than schools with far lower outcomes like Banneker High School ($18,662) or Sandy Creek High School ($14,852). One area for improvement is chronic absenteeism at 13.6%, above the district average of 11.0%, though this has improved significantly from 18.2% two years ago. Overall, McIntosh delivers exceptional, consistent results across every measure, making it a standout choice for families.

Nearly all of my teachers have been excellent, communicating the information well, challenging us intellectually and creatively, and helping us to think outside the box. However, most of my experience is with the gifted teachers. Also, the extra curriculars are great, sports and otherwise! Fine arts are excellent, too. If you're looking for a free (besides taxes) school, McIntosh is pretty much as good as it's gonna get in Georgia. Close Quote
