Summary:

Oakley Elementary School, Gullatt Elementary School, and Liberty Point Elementary School are the three elementary schools serving grades PK-5 in Union City, Georgia, a high-poverty community where every student qualifies for free or reduced lunch and all schools are part of the Fulton County School District.

Liberty Point Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking in the 61st percentile statewide with a 3-star rating—far ahead of its peers. In 4th grade math, Liberty Point’s proficiency rate (58.1%) is more than double Gullatt Elementary School’s (27.2%) and nearly double Oakley Elementary School’s (32.8%). Liberty Point also leads in 5th grade science (40.7% proficient) and has shown a dramatic improvement in state ranking over three years, climbing from the 51st to the 66th percentile before settling at 61st. Oakley Elementary School and Gullatt Elementary School both sit at the 20th percentile with 1-star ratings, though Gullatt has been remarkably consistent while Oakley shows pockets of strength in upper grades.

All three schools beat the district and state averages for chronic absenteeism, with rates between 12.0% and 14.5% compared to the district’s 16.6%—a notable achievement given the high-poverty demographics. However, spending does not correlate with outcomes: Gullatt Elementary School spends the most per student ($18,928) yet has the lowest scores, while Liberty Point Elementary School spends $1,112 less and performs best. A common challenge across all three schools is a drop in 5th grade math proficiency, and science scores lag behind math everywhere. The wide gap between Liberty Point and its sister schools—despite similar funding, class sizes, and demographics—suggests that replicating Liberty Point’s successful strategies could benefit the entire city.
