Summary

White Oak Elementary School is a public elementary school in Newnan, Georgia, serving 707 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Coweta County School District. While the district is ranked 39 out of 206 in Georgia and has a 4-star rating, White Oak Elementary has faced some academic challenges in recent years.

The school's test scores have consistently fallen below the Coweta County and Georgia state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, White Oak's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 42%, compared to the county's 41.5% and the state's 34.9%. Additionally, White Oak has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.96% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the county average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 323 out of 1,244 Georgia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 554 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools in the Coweta County district, such as Canongate Elementary, Northside Elementary, and Arbor Springs Elementary, White Oak Elementary generally underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.4 to 14.7 students per teacher in recent years. While the school's spending per student has increased over time, the higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance compared to its peers.

The new Principal is Incompetent!! ALL the children have assigned seating during their, quiet, lunch. Your child will NOT be allowed to sit next to their friend. Forget about a happy snack time. They all have what the Principal calls “Working snack”. Then my second grader tells me her only recess is at 2 pm, just before they leave. Five and a half hours without a break. Do you work five and a half hours without a break? Consider this quality of life: 20 minute, ASSIGNED seating, QUIET lunch, WORKING snacks and NO recess until the end of the day. Plus if your child misses a day of school they WILL be doing their make-up work during their only recess when they get back. "Recess Club". I thought there were child labor laws preventing all of this? My daughter told me that her teacher spends most of her time texting on her phone. This is the most unfriendly school I have been to. Parent participation in the classroom is discouraged. When asked if I could participate in a special activity in my Daughter s class I was told NO, no parents are allowed. Before you enroll your child here, be sure to get the full story on what goes on at this school/hard labor camp Close Quote

I looked at every school (Woodward, Heritage, Trinity, Landmark) and I am so glad that I chose White Oak. If you live in this district and are considering the private schools in the area please talk to the parents and schedule an appointment to tour White Oak. I think you will be impressed. Close Quote
