Summary:
Moreland Elementary School is the only school in Moreland, Georgia, serving grades PK through 5 with 547 students as part of the Coweta County School District, which ranks in the top 17% of Georgia districts. For parents, this means a single, well-resourced elementary school that shows clear strengths in early-grade math and attendance, but also reveals some notable challenges in upper-grade performance that are worth understanding.
Moreland Elementary outperforms its district and state benchmarks in 3rd and 4th grade math, with proficiency rates of 64.1% and 66.0% respectively—roughly 15 points above the state average. The school also posted a remarkable 15.6-point jump in 3rd grade math proficiency year-over-year, from 48.5% to 64.1%. However, 5th grade math tells a different story: proficiency dropped to 44.0%, now 8 points below the district average and essentially tied with the state. Science performance also reversed sharply, falling from 60.8% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 49.4% in 2025-2026, dropping below the district average. This "upper-grade slump" pattern suggests parents of 5th graders may want to pay extra attention to math and science support.
On the positive side, chronic absenteeism is a clear strength at 12.7%, well below the district's 19.2% and the state's 17.7%. The school also benefits from a favorable 13.3:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $15,672, indicating strong resource allocation. The school's state ranking improved from 351st to 297th this year, though it remains below its 2023-2024 peak of 235th. English Language Arts scores for the current year have not yet been released—they arrive in December—so the full academic picture is still incomplete. Overall, Moreland Elementary offers a solid foundation with excellent attendance and early-grade math success, but families should watch how the school addresses its 5th grade declines in the coming year.
