Academy for Classical Education is a charter school in Macon, Georgia, that was originally part of the Bibb County School District.[1] The school serves students in kindergarten to 12th grade. The student body is about 70 percent white, 16 percent African American and 8 percent Asian while Macon itself is about 70 percent African American and 25 percent white.[2][3][4] It is highly ranked and in 2020 it was designated a National Blue Ribbon School by the United States Department of Education.[5][6]
The school was established in 2014 and in 2019, it separated from local school district oversight to become a State Commissioned Charter School. While this led to improvements in budget and curriculum, it also led to changes in admission and eligibility.[7][8][9][10] In 2021, U.S. News recognized it as one of the best charter schools in the country.[9]
