Summary

Roan Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dalton, Georgia, serving 447 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dalton Public Schools district, which is ranked 107 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student than nearby schools, Roan Elementary has consistently underperformed the district and state on standardized tests, with only 18.9% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 31.5% for the district and 34.9% for the state. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.42% to 88.81% in recent years, significantly higher than the 58.81% to 89.93% rates at other Dalton Public Schools.

While Roan Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio than other schools in the district, this smaller class size does not appear to be translating into better academic performance. The school has been a consistently low-performing institution, ranking in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past decade, suggesting it will require substantial interventions and support to improve student achievement.
