Summary

Chattahoochee Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Cumming, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 800 students. The school is part of the Forsyth County School District, which is ranked 9th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Chattahoochee Elementary School's test scores, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, are generally lower than the Forsyth County and Georgia averages across all grade levels and subject areas, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.09% to 53.12% in recent years. This is higher than the rates for many of the nearby schools, such as New Hope Elementary, Haw Creek Elementary, and Mashburn Elementary, which consistently outperform Chattahoochee on these metrics.

Despite the school's overall lower performance, there are some areas where Chattahoochee Elementary School excels. For instance, in the 2020-2021 school year, the school's 4th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 65% was higher than the Forsyth County and Georgia averages. However, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the past several years, dropping from 87th out of 1,240 Georgia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 419th out of 1,238 in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state.
