Summary

Adairsville Elementary School in Adairsville, GA, serves 868 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Bartow County district.

Adairsville Elementary has made a remarkable turnaround in student attendance. Chronic absenteeism has plummeted from a very high 40.4% in 2022-2023 to just 7.5% in 2025-2026—far better than the district average of 15.8% and the state average of 17.7%. This is a standout achievement, especially when compared to nearby Swain Elementary, which has a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.1%. However, the school’s academic ranking has dipped this year. After ranking in the 64th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, Adairsville now sits in the 49th percentile. Math proficiency declined across all grade levels—for example, 4th-grade math dropped from 52.2% to 44%. This is a notable contrast with Hamilton Crossing Elementary, just 10 miles away, which surged to the 79th percentile despite serving a similar percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. That comparison suggests some schools in the area are finding instructional strategies that yield stronger results with similar demographics.

One clear bright spot is 5th-grade science. Adairsville’s 5th graders posted a 49.3% proficiency rate in 2025-2026, outpacing the district (41.3%), the state (44.2%), and nearby Kingston Elementary (32.3%) and Clear Creek Elementary (33%). That said, science scores have been volatile over the past few years, swinging from 31.2% to 49.3%, so it’s unclear if this is a sustainable strength or a one-year spike. On the cost side, Adairsville spends $14,934 per student—less than Hamilton Crossing ($16,092), Clear Creek ($16,761), and Kingston ($18,561)—while still achieving a higher ranking than Kingston. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.6, the school is delivering reasonable results for its investment, though the recent dip in math scores is worth watching.
