Martin Luther King, Jr.
Elementary School is located in the southwestern suburban
area of Dougherty County in a rustic setting. River Road
Elementary was the first name of this great school. In the
early 1980's the school was renamed in honor of the renowned
civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The school
serves children in grades K-5 with two self-contained
classes of exceptional students and one resource class.
Students also have the opportunity to participate in the
Dougherty County Gifted Education program. Our mission at

educational program that will inspire all students to: excel academically;
achieve the necessary skills to become a productive
individual in a global society; and achieve independence in problem-solving and critical
thinking skills.
