Summary:

Carroll County is home to 12 elementary schools serving grades Pre-K through 5, with a combined enrollment of roughly 7,700 students across a mix of small towns and rural communities. Overall, the district outperforms state averages in every tested subject, and seven of its 12 schools earned a 4-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year.

For parents seeking top academic performers, Roopville Elementary School stands out as the district’s highest-ranked school (233rd statewide, 81st percentile), with 5th grade math proficiency at 65.1% and science at 63.4%—both well above district averages. Central Elementary School, the largest school with 991 students, posts the district’s best 5th grade math score (69.3%) and has maintained a 4-star rating for three straight years. Mount Zion Elementary School is the most improved, jumping 218 spots in state ranking since 2023-2024, with 5th grade science proficiency nearly doubling to 64%. Whitesburg Elementary School also shows strong gains, now ranking in the 77th percentile.

At the other end, Sharp Creek Elementary School faces the greatest challenges, ranking in the bottom 40% for three consecutive years. It has the district’s highest chronic absenteeism rate (21.0%, above the state average of 17.7%) and the highest poverty rate (68.37% free/reduced lunch), despite receiving the most per-student funding ($16,408) and having the smallest class sizes (11.3:1). Glanton-Hindsman Elementary has also slipped to a 2-star rating, with 3rd grade math proficiency at just 37.4%. Notably, attendance appears closely tied to achievement: the three schools with the lowest absenteeism rates—Central (5.6%), Roopville (10.9%), and Ithica Elementary—all rank in the top 355 schools statewide, while the two highest-absenteeism schools rank lowest. Sand Hill Elementary School shows a concerning pattern of declining math scores from 3rd to 5th grade, dropping 24 percentage points.
