Summary:

Floyd County Schools serves approximately 8,929 students across 15 schools in northwest Georgia, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 4 high schools, and the district ranks in the 87th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating.

For parents, the standout elementary option is Johnson Elementary, which ranks in the 98th percentile and posts extraordinary math scores — 86% proficiency in 3rd grade and 88.9% in 4th grade for 2025-2026, compared to district averages near 70%. It also has the second-lowest poverty rate among elementary schools and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 6.2%. Armuchee Elementary is the most improved school, jumping from rank 332 to 179 in two years, with all its 2025-2026 math scores exceeding district averages. At the high school level, Armuchee High and Model High lead the way — Armuchee boasts a 96.2% graduation rate and the district's best American Literature scores, while Model has the highest graduation rate (97.7%) and best Algebra I proficiency (78.6%). All four high schools exceed the state graduation rate of 87.2%.

There are notable gaps to consider. Alto Park Elementary has the district's highest poverty rate (83.9% free/reduced lunch) and the lowest elementary test scores, ranking in the 53rd percentile. Pepperell High stands out for its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.2% — more than double that of Armuchee High (7.5%) — despite a strong 94.6% graduation rate. Across the district, math proficiency consistently outpaces English Language Arts, and U.S. History is a district-wide challenge, with all four high schools scoring below the state average in 2025-2026. However, Biology proficiency exceeds state averages at every high school, and the district's overall chronic absenteeism (9%) is well below the state's 17.7%, indicating strong attendance fundamentals.
