Dade County

Located at 52 Tradition Lane in Trenton, Georgia, the Dade County School District operates as an active, traditional public school district dedicated to serving families throughout the region. Nestled in a distant rural community setting within the broader Chattanooga metropolitan area, the district encompasses four operational schools that deliver a seamless educational continuum from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. As a traditional public system rather than a charter district, Dade County provides a continuous, community-anchored learning environment designed to support students through every stage of their primary and secondary education.

The district serves a student body of nearly 2,000 learners, backed by a comprehensive professional staff structured to nurture both academic growth and operational excellence. Dade County maintains a strong educator-to-student presence, employing approximately 618 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This dedicated team includes more than 301 full-time equivalent teachers, 42 instructional aides, and nearly 275 support personnel. This substantial staffing commitment ensures that classrooms across all four campuses are well-resourced, offering students tailored instructional support and a reliable network of educational services.
