DeKalb County Central United School District
DeKalb County Central United School District places preschool in each of its four elementary schools: Country Meadow, James R. Watson, McKenney-Harrison, and Waterloo. Those communities later meet at DeKalb Middle School and DeKalb High School. Early-childhood and elementary services stay close to the home area, while the secondary route is shared.
DeKalb Middle already introduces work normally associated with high school. Its block schedule includes Project Lead the Way, project-based learning, career courses, broad electives, and opportunities to earn high-school credit. Entry into the common middle school changes both the campus and the course structure.
DeKalb High expands the sequence through 36 dual-credit classes, 14 Advanced Placement classes, and 61 vocational or career-technical courses and certifications. DeKalb Virtual Academy provides another district option. Students can begin earning high-school credit at DeKalb Middle, then continue into AP, dual-credit, or technical study at the shared high school.
