East Point does not run its own school system. Fulton County Schools (FCS) operates the public schools with East Point addresses, and its Services for Exceptional Children department handles special education. For preschoolers, FCS uses a Preschool Special Education Request for Assistance process open to children who live within FCS boundaries.
Families can start that preschool request when a child is nearing the third birthday and use it until the summer before the child is old enough for kindergarten. FCS serves eligible children in an FCS building or in the community, with supports that range from full-time preschool special education classes to weekly speech or occupational therapy. Services are free to children living in the district, and the early childhood office answers at 470-254-0404. East Point borders the city of Atlanta, which has its own school system, so confirm your zoned school by address.
