Back to School for Fulton County Students

The 2011-12 school year starts for thousands of youth in Fulton County today.

For adult drivers this means adjustments to schedules and a careful eye out for extra traffic and kids darting around school buses.

The Fulton County School System is the fourth largest school district in Georgia with a projected 2011-12 enrollment of nearly 93,000, according to a story on the Fulton County School System website. In the core of the Cascade Patch, students return to Randolph Elementary, Sandtown Middle and Westlake High schools.

There are 100 schools is the district— 58 elementary schools, 19 middle schools, 16 high schools and seven start-up charter schools.

Congratulations, students and parents, on the start of a new school year!
