City Schools of Decatur

The City Schools of Decatur is a public charter school district in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. It serves and is based in Decatur, Georgia.

City Schools of Decatur has an enrollment of approximately 5,700 students and operates 10 schools: one preschool, five K–2 lower elementary schools, two 3–5 upper elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. They also run a virtual academy.

The system opened in 1902 serving grades K-8. The districts first high school was originally established in 1912. In 1913, the Glennwood School was built, serving both high school and elementary students. The Glennwood School ceased hosting high school students in 1915 and became Decaturs only elementary school.

In 1915, Oakhurst Elementary was built. Winnona Park school opened on September 17, 1923. Clairemont Elementary was opened in 1936.

Winnona Park school survived two fires, one in 1959, the other in 1975.

Glennwood Elementary was renovated in 2002.

In 2004, CSD closed down Westchester Elementary School due to low enrollment numbers. The school later reopened in 2014 due to a "surge in enrollment." In 2013, a new wing was added to Oakhurst Elementary to meet this increased enrollment.

From 2004 to 2011, the building which now houses Glennwood Elementary served as the districts fourth and fifth grade academy. The school was reverted back to serving K-3 grade following the opening of the 4/5 Academy in 2011
