Summary

Callaway Elementary School in LaGrange, GA, serves 638 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Troup County school district, and it has recently earned a 2-star rating (30th percentile statewide) after a challenging period of fluctuating performance.

One of the most significant changes at Callaway is the rapid rise in economic need among its families. The percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch jumped from about 72% in 2022-2023 to nearly 95% in 2024-2025—a steep increase that helps explain some of the academic hurdles the school faces. In the latest math testing, proficiency rates ranged from 27.6% (3rd grade) to 38.1% (4th grade), all well below district averages. For comparison, nearby Hollis Hand Elementary School posted a 79.3% proficiency rate in 3rd grade math, while Hillcrest Elementary School reached 58.8%. However, Callaway outperforms Berta Weathersbee Elementary School in several subjects, showing that high poverty doesn't automatically determine outcomes. A bright spot is 5th grade science, where proficiency improved to 32.3%—a notable gain after two flat years.

Chronic absenteeism is a key concern, with 22.4% of students missing significant school time—well above the district average of 15.0% and state average of 17.7%. This is a stark contrast to Hogansville Elementary School (8.2%) and Hillcrest (12.8%), both of which serve similar or higher poverty populations yet maintain much better attendance. The school spends $13,624 per student, slightly above the district median but less than some peers. While the school's overall ranking has stabilized somewhat after a dip, the most promising path forward appears to be tackling absenteeism and learning from successful practices at peer schools like Ethel W. Kight Elementary School, which achieves stronger math results with a similar student profile. Note that English Language Arts scores from the latest testing cycle will be released in December, so a fuller picture of reading performance is still forthcoming.
