Elementary Schools in Dalton Public Schools

Summary:

The Dalton Public Schools district in Georgia is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools within the district, with significant disparities in academic achievement.

Two schools stand out as top performers: Brookwood Elementary School and Westwood Elementary School. These schools consistently rank among the top 30-40% and top 25-30% of elementary schools in Georgia, respectively, with impressive test scores that exceed district and state averages. In contrast, Blue Ridge Elementary School and Roan Elementary School struggle, with lower test scores and rankings in the bottom half of Georgia's elementary schools.

The data also reveals that several schools, such as City Park Elementary School, Blue Ridge Elementary School, Park Creek Elementary School, and Roan Elementary School, face significant socioeconomic challenges, with very high rates of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support these schools and their communities.
