Summary

Western Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Newnan, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 454 students. The school is part of the Coweta County School District, which is ranked 39 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Western Elementary School performs better than the state average in mathematics, it lags behind the county average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, 61.9% of 3rd graders at Western Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 51.6% in the county and 44.3% statewide. Additionally, Western Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to other schools in the district, with 71.15% of students eligible in 2023-2024, compared to 32% at Brooks Elementary and 50.58% at Newnan Crossing Elementary.

Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio and spending more per student than the state average, Western Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 657 out of 1,234 Georgia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 322 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges, such as the socioeconomic factors of its student population, that could be impacting its academic performance. Addressing these challenges could be crucial for improving the school's outcomes and ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality education.

I am so disappointed this year. The children are missing the teacher time between the student and the teacher. As a parent I have noticed this a lot this year. I just want my child to receive the best education while there. This year has been well WHEW!!! Sometimes I just want to transfer my child to another school. Close Quote

We have been enrolled at Western for 3 years and have had no complaints about the teachers. Both of my children have excelled in their reading and math. My only issue is a more county-wide problem; the art teachers are not fully funded by the county; therefore, Western does not have a full time art teacher. Close Quote

Western Elementary is a wonderful school! The teachers are excellent role models for our children. They are Ioving and caring. They teach with knowledge and ability. My 4th grader has loved each and everyone one of her teacher and I love the fact that every staff member goes out of their way to get to know each student. The principal is amazing! She is there to help the children succeed and grow with kindness and a firm hand. I have truly enjoyed the experience that we have had so far at Western Elementary!!! Thank you, thank you for everything! Close Quote
