High School Graduate (% of Over 25) by Zip Code (ZCTA5) — Atlanta Metro

NOTE: Gray indicates insufficient data or a suppressed estimate.

High school graduation rates across the Atlanta metro exhibit a clear north-south gradient, with zip codes north of I-285—particularly around Alpharetta, Roswell, and Sandy Springs—consistently reaching 90–100%, while areas south of Hartsfield-Jackson and in the southwestern periphery fall notably lower, often into the 70–80% range. A few pockets of markedly lower attainment (below 70%) appear in central zip codes near downtown Atlanta and in parts of Marietta, contrasting sharply with adjacent affluent areas. The eastern fringe of the metro also shows moderate depression in graduation rates compared to the predominantly yellow-green northern suburbs, suggesting persistent socioeconomic divides along both racial and geographic lines.
