Summary

Pine Log Elementary in Rydal, GA, serves approximately 463 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Bartow County school district, and it has become one of the top-performing elementary schools in northwest Georgia.

Pine Log has shown remarkable, steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 47th percentile statewide in 2015-2016 to the 81st percentile in 2025-2026—a gain of 34 points that has earned the school a 4-star rating for four consecutive years. The school's standout strength is mathematics, where 4th graders posted a 67.2% proficiency rate in 2025-2026, compared to 46.1% for the district and 50.1% statewide. Fifth graders also excelled in science, with 65.3% scoring proficient versus 41.3% district-wide and 44.2% statewide. These results place Pine Log well ahead of its Bartow County peers, including Hamilton Crossing Elementary (79th percentile) and White Elementary (67th percentile). The school also boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.3%—nearly half the district average of 15.8%—suggesting strong family engagement and a positive school culture.

Pine Log achieves these results while serving a student population where about 61% qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it does so with a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $19,904, the highest among nearby schools. While this year's English Language Arts scores have not yet been released, last year's data showed Pine Log outperforming district averages by 11 to 13 points across grades 3-5. The school's consistent, year-over-year gains—rather than one-time spikes—point to systemic improvements that have made it a model for other schools in the region.
