• Mary Lin Elementary was founded in 1929 as part of the Atlanta Public Schools system. The school was named after the 27-year-principal, Miss Mary Lin. We are one of Atlanta Public Schools' shining examples of student success, innovation, and community-centered learning. We are nestled within the Candler Park neighborhood, right across the street from Candler Park's beautiful golf course and just two miles from downtown Atlanta.
     
    Our students live within the Candler Park and Lake Claire communities. Mary Lin Elementary provides a world-class academic education experience with over 500 students in grades pre-kindergarten through fifth. Mary Lin is one of the premier elementary schools within the Atlanta Public Schools system and our students continue to Howard Middle School and Midtown High School. Our talented teachers, staff, administrators and our dedicated parents work together to provide each student with a nurturing learning environment that meets their individual needs.
