Alexander II Magnet School

Alexander II Magnet School serves 479 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Macon, Georgia. It earns a composite score of 8.9 out of 10 — an Excellent rating — driven by strong academics (8.5) and exceptional growth (9.1). That growth score signals students are advancing faster than the Georgia average, a meaningful indicator for families weighing long-term trajectory over snapshot performance.

The school ranks #1 among all 38 public schools in Macon and places 95th out of 2,268 public schools statewide, outperforming 96% of Georgia schools. Among elementary schools specifically, it ranks 80th out of 1,301 in the state. Those two numbers together tell the same story: Alexander II consistently sits at the top of every comparison set it belongs to.

At 13.7 students per teacher, class sizes run lean. That ratio, combined with the magnet designation, points to a structured, intentional learning environment rather than a default neighborhood assignment. Enrollment sits at 479 — large enough to offer programmatic depth, small enough for individual attention to land.

Families in Macon comparing public elementary options will find Alexander II difficult to beat. It leads the city, ranks near the top of the state, and pairs that achievement with growth numbers that suggest the trajectory is still climbing.
