Summary:

West Point, Georgia is served by a single elementary school, West Point Elementary School, which educates students in grades PK-5 within the Troup County school district.

West Point Elementary serves a student body where nearly all families (96.67%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, placing it in a very high-poverty category. The school has experienced a significant decline in its state ranking, dropping from the 47th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026. The most recent test scores show proficiency rates well below state averages across all subjects, with the largest gaps in 3rd grade math (20% proficient vs. 48.3% statewide) and 5th grade science (24.6% vs. 44.2%). The school saw a particularly sharp one-year decline in 5th grade science, falling from 42.6% proficiency in 2024-2025—when it actually beat the district average—to just 24.6% in 2025-2026. However, there are some bright spots: 4th grade math is the school's strongest subject (37.9% proficient), and in the most recent ELA data available (2024-2025), 3rd grade ELA proficiency (31.3%) actually exceeded the district average (29.0%).

One notable strength is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.9%, which is significantly better than both the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages, suggesting strong attendance practices despite the academic challenges. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1 and spends $14,795 per student, which is substantial. The concerning trajectory—a 32-percentage-point drop in percentile ranking over two years—combined with declines across all subjects suggests systemic challenges rather than isolated issues. The upcoming ELA data release in December will be critical to understanding whether this decline is consistent across all subjects. For parents, this school offers a supportive attendance environment and small class sizes, but families should be aware of the significant academic gaps and the school's current downward trend.
