Summary

White Elementary School in White, Georgia, serves approximately 562 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Bartow County School District, and has earned a 3-star rating with a statewide ranking of 408th out of 1,219 elementary schools (67th percentile) for 2025-2026.

White Elementary's most impressive recent achievement is its dramatic improvement in chronic absenteeism. After holding at 19.2% in 2024-2025, the rate dropped to just 9.8% for 2025-2026—nearly half the previous year's figure and well below both the district average (15.8%) and state average (17.7%). This is the second-lowest rate among nearby schools, trailing only Cartersville Elementary (6.5%). The school also shows clear strength in mathematics: 3rd grade math proficiency (60.9%) is the highest among comparable area schools and 13 points above the district average, while 5th grade math (56.3%) exceeds the state by more than 12 points. Fifth grade math has remained above 55% for three consecutive years, demonstrating a consistent upper-elementary math program. The school's overall ranking has improved for three straight years (641st → 500th → 408th), signaling a positive trajectory toward its pre-pandemic 4-star status.

However, challenges remain. Fifth grade science proficiency (37.5%) is the lowest among all Bartow County elementary schools in the comparison group, sitting well below both district (41.3%) and state (44.2%) averages—a notable contrast given the same students' strong math performance. The most recent ELA data (2024-2025) shows inconsistency: 3rd grade (34%) and 5th grade (46.4%) hover near or above state averages, but 4th grade (26.7%) trails the state by more than 12 points. When compared to neighbors, White outperforms Clear Creek Elementary in 3rd grade math (60.9% vs. 39.8%) and has better attendance, while Pine Log Elementary (4.4 miles away) leads in most academic metrics. With per-student spending of $15,087—lower than several schools with weaker outcomes—White Elementary appears to use resources efficiently while making steady gains in attendance and math achievement.
