Summary

Carrollton Upper Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Carrollton, Georgia, part of the Carrollton City School District. With 745 students, the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, with academic performance on par with the district average but slightly below state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Carrollton Upper Elementary faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students (ranging from 57.11% to 68.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than nearby Carrollton Elementary School and several other Carroll County schools. However, the school has seen a decrease in its student-teacher ratio, from 17 in 2021-2022 to 14.1 in 2023-2024, indicating smaller class sizes compared to some neighboring schools.

While Carrollton Upper Elementary maintains consistent performance, it lags behind high-performing nearby schools like Bremen 4th & 5th Grade Academy and Central Elementary. By focusing on areas for improvement, leveraging its smaller class sizes, and learning from the best practices of top-performing schools in the region, Carrollton Upper Elementary has the potential to enhance its academic outcomes and better serve its student population.
