Summary:
The four schools serving Lindale, Georgia, are part of the Floyd County School District, a top-rated system that ranks in the 87th percentile statewide and holds a 4-star rating. These schools—Pepperell Primary (PK–2), Pepperell Elementary (2–4), Pepperell Middle School (5–7), and Pepperell High School (8–12)—form a seamless feeder pattern serving roughly 2,374 students, with all schools reporting free/reduced lunch rates between 61.7% and 72.7%.
Mathematics is the clear standout across the entire system. Every grade level, from 3rd grade through Algebra I, exceeds state proficiency averages, with Pepperell High School posting an exceptional 82.1% Algebra I proficiency rate—nearly double the state’s 48.1%. Pepperell Elementary also shines in 4th-grade math at 62.5% versus the state’s 50.1%. However, science and social studies reveal weaknesses. Fifth-grade science lags at 34.4% (state: 44.2%), while 8th-grade social studies (34.0%) and US History EOC (28.3%) both fall well below state averages. In ELA, Pepperell Middle School posts a notable 7th-grade proficiency of 52.1%, far exceeding the district (43.6%) and state (40.7%), though earlier grades trail state averages.
Operationally, all four schools keep chronic absenteeism below the state’s 17.7%, ranging from 7.9% at Pepperell Elementary to 15.2% at Pepperell High School. Per-student spending is fairly consistent except at Pepperell Primary, which spends $18,283—about $4,500 more per student than the others, likely reflecting early-childhood staffing needs. Every school with ranking data shows steady improvement, with Pepperell High School and Pepperell Middle School both climbing to the 77th percentile. For parents, this district offers strong math foundations, a high graduation rate (94.6% at the high school), and a clear upward trajectory, though science and social studies may need extra attention at home.
