Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $15,830 to $16,383 over the past few years, and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 12.4 students per teacher, Continental Colony Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Georgia, with proficiency rates significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 6.4% of 3rd graders, 10.9% of 4th graders, and 11.1% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 38.6%, 36.1%, and 41.6%, respectively. The school's performance in mathematics is also very low, with only 10.6% of 3rd graders, 14.1% of 4th graders, and 5.6% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 45.6%, 45.7%, and 37.4%.
When compared to nearby schools within the Atlanta Public Schools district, such as L.O. Kimberly Elementary, R.N. Fickett Elementary, and Deerwood Academy, which also have low academic performance, Continental Colony Elementary still ranks among the lowest-performing schools in the district. The performance gap is even more pronounced when compared to schools in the Fulton County district, such as College Park Elementary, Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary, and Brookview Elementary, which generally achieve proficiency rates of 15-30% in core subjects, still below the state averages but significantly higher than Continental Colony.
