Summary:

The city of Resaca, Georgia has only one school, Tolbert Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Tolbert Elementary School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 476 out of 1,238 Georgia elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 663 out of 1,248 in 2023-2024.

Tolbert Elementary School's proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment are generally lower than the Gordon County district and Georgia state averages, with the exception of 5th-grade Mathematics and Science. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (87.87%), indicating a predominantly low-income student population. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8 suggests efficient resource allocation and the potential for more individualized attention.

While Tolbert Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as its 5th-grade Mathematics and Science proficiency, it faces challenges in English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. The school's fluctuating performance and the needs of its high-poverty student population present opportunities for improvement and targeted interventions to support student success.
