Summary

West Point Elementary School in West Point, GA, serves 450 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Troup County School District. The school has seen a dramatic shift in its state ranking, falling from the 51st percentile in 2022-2023 to the 20th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, a reversal that parents will want to understand in context.

The most significant academic concern is a steep drop in mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency fell from 34.3% to 20% between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, and 5th-grade math dropped from 38.9% to 27.4%. While the district also saw declines, West Point's drop is more pronounced. One bright spot is 4th-grade math, where 37.9% of students met proficiency—the school's highest score and closest to the district average of 44%. Science in 5th grade (24.6%) also held relatively steady compared to math, though it remains below district (41.7%) and state (44.2%) averages. Notably, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is a standout strength at 10.9%, far better than the district (15.0%) and state (17.7%) averages, and it has improved consistently from 19.7% two years ago.

Comparing West Point to nearby schools in Harris County and Troup County reveals a wide gap. While West Point sits in the 20th percentile, peers like Hillcrest Elementary School (89th), Hollis Hand Elementary School (82nd), and Rosemont Elementary School (81st) rank in the top quartile. Even schools with similar high economic need, like Franklin Forest Elementary (26th) and Clearview Elementary School (6th), rank higher. This suggests that while poverty is a factor—96.67% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch—it doesn't fully determine outcomes. The school's volatile performance history, bouncing between the 20th and 51st percentiles over the past decade, points to a need for more consistent academic strategies, even as attendance efforts show what's possible.
