By 1964, both the elementary and high schools were accredited by the Georgia Commission of Accreditation ( and each year subsequently ), and the Upper School was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

In the early 1980s, Lovett became one of the select groups of schools in the country that was invited to nominate seniors for the prestigious Jefferson Scholarship at the University of Virginia and the Morehead Scholarship at the University of North Carolina.
