Summary

Renaissance Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fairburn, Georgia, serving 696 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fulton County School District, which is ranked 47th out of 206 districts in the state.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Renaissance Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Fulton County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 33.3% in 3rd grade English Language Arts, 40.5% in 4th grade Math, and 43.1% in 5th grade Science, while the Fulton County averages were 49.8%, 62.2%, and 55.7%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 1 and 3 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger scale over the past 10 years, ranging from 557th out of 1,238 Georgia elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 963rd out of 1,209 in 2017-2018.

One notable factor is that Renaissance Elementary School has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. This is significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the area, such as Wolf Creek Elementary and E.C. West Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,974 in the 2018-2019 school year, Renaissance Elementary School has struggled to improve its academic performance and support its high-needs student population.

Open Quote My daughter attended Kindergarten at Renaissance. The administration and faculty are very organized! This really helped my family transition into a "big kids" school. We looked at several private schools in the area and to our surprise, we were most impressed with Renaissance. Independence and accountability is emphasized and expected from all students from DAY ONE! I am very impressed with this organization!

Regards,
