Summary:

Rome City is a Georgia school district serving approximately 6,357 students across 8 schools—6 elementary schools (PK-6), 1 middle school, and 1 high school—in a community where 7 of 8 schools report 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility, placing the district in the 49th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating.

The district's standout performers are its elementary schools. East Central Elementary School leads the district with a 4-star rating (73rd percentile), posting math proficiency rates of 43-59% across grades 3-6 and 5th grade science at 56.9%—all well above state averages—while maintaining the district's lowest student-teacher ratio at 11.5:1. Elm Street Elementary is the district's biggest improver, jumping 441 positions to a 4-star rating, with 5th grade math at 59.4% (state: 44.1%) and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at just 2.0%. West End Elementary also shines with the district's highest 3rd grade math score (60.7%) and a 69th percentile ranking. By contrast, Main Elementary School struggles at the 11th percentile with a 1-star rating, posting proficiency rates dramatically below state averages (e.g., 12.7% 5th grade math vs. 44.1% statewide) and the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 18.9%.

Notable patterns emerge across the district. Chronic absenteeism strongly tracks performance—the top three elementary schools all have rates below 6.7%, while Main Elementary exceeds the state average. Spending shows no clear relationship to outcomes: Anna K. Davie Elementary spends the most per student ($18,413) yet ranks 848th, while West End spends the least ($12,360) and ranks 383rd. Rome Middle School posts an extraordinary 95.6% proficiency in Algebra I (state: 48.1%), though its 7th and 8th grade math scores drop to 36-37%. Rome High School graduates 95.7% of students (state: 87.2%) with a 0.5% dropout rate, despite a concerning 25.7% chronic absenteeism rate. The district's wide internal disparities—a 1,000+ position gap between top and bottom elementary schools—highlight opportunities for targeted support and resource redistribution.
