Summary:

Troup County Schools serve approximately 11,000 students across 19 schools—11 elementary, 3 middle, and 5 high schools—in a predominantly rural Georgia district that ranks at the 50th percentile statewide with a 3-star rating.

The district's standout performers are its elementary schools, which prove that high achievement is possible even in high-poverty settings. Hillcrest Elementary School leads the district, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide with 77% proficiency in 5th grade Science (state: 44.2%) despite 82.56% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Hollis Hand Elementary School and Rosemont Elementary School also earn 4-star ratings, with Hollis Hand posting 79.3% proficiency in 3rd grade Mathematics. Long Cane Elementary School achieves strong results with an 87.77% poverty rate. The most dramatic improvement comes from Ethel W. Kight Elementary School, which jumped 21 percentile points in one year. At the other end, Clearview Elementary School ranks in the bottom 6% statewide with just 9.9% proficiency in 4th grade Mathematics.

Middle schools present the district's biggest challenge. Long Cane Middle School is the only middle school exceeding state averages in 8th grade Mathematics (56.5% vs. 46.3%), while Gardner-Newman Middle School (32.5%) and Callaway Middle School (18.8%) lag significantly. High schools excel at graduation—Troup County High School (94.2%), LaGrange High School (94.1%), and Callaway High School (93.8%) all exceed the state rate of 87.2%—but struggle with US History proficiency, ranging from 14.8% to 29.9% versus the 38.5% state average. Chronic absenteeism strongly correlates with performance: Hogansville Elementary School boasts an exceptional 8.2% rate, while Berta Weathersbee Elementary School (22.7%) and Callaway Elementary School (22.4%) struggle. ELA scores will be released in December, providing a fuller picture of the 2025-2026 school year.
