Starr's Mill High School is a public high school located in Fayetteville, Georgia, United States. The school is governed by the Fayette County Board of Education.[2]
The school also serves southern Peachtree City and parts of unincorporated Fayette County.
The Fayette County Board of Education commissioned Starr's Mill High School alongside Peeples Elementary School and Rising Starr Middle School in response to rapid population growth in southern Peachtree City. Before its permanent building was constructed, students attended the LaFayette Education Center in Fayetteville until the start of the 97-1998 school year. The school is named after a grist mill located a mile southeast of the campus.
Starr's Mill High School opened in 1997–1998 with 40 teachers and 650 students. As of 2020–21 its enrollment was 1,336 students, with 89.3 teachers.[1]
5% of Starr's Mill minority students participate in the ESOL Program. Most SMHS students reside in Fayetteville and Peachtree City.
Starr's Mill was one of only three high schools in Georgia to be declared a School of Excellence in 2005, and it has been ranked as one of the best school public schools in America by Newsweek magazine. The feeder to this school is Rising Starr Middle School.
