Summary

Rosa Taylor Elementary School in Macon, GA, serves approximately 583 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Bibb County school district, where about 64% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Rosa Taylor currently ranks in the 10th percentile statewide, which is a meaningful improvement from its historic low of the 3rd percentile in 2023-2024. The school has shown real progress in 3rd grade math, jumping from 19.2% proficiency to 30.6%—now nearly matching the district average. However, a concerning pattern emerges as students move up: math proficiency drops sharply from 30.6% in 3rd grade to 25.7% in 4th grade, then plummets to just 13.3% in 5th grade. That 17-point decline is far steeper than the district's 3-point drop over the same grades, and 5th grade math has remained in single digits or low teens for three straight years. Science proficiency in 5th grade (21.1%) also trails the district (34.7%) and state (44.2%) averages significantly.

One of the biggest challenges is chronic absenteeism. At 28.9%, Rosa Taylor's rate is well above the state average of 17.7% and nearly three times higher than nearby Vineville Academy (8.8%) and Alexander II Magnet School (10.7%). The contrast with Alexander II—just 3.5 miles away—is striking: both schools serve similar student populations and spend comparable amounts per pupil, yet Alexander II ranks in the 57th percentile with 54.7% 3rd grade math proficiency versus Rosa Taylor's 30.6%. Rosa Taylor actually spends more per student ($16,811) than several higher-performing nearby schools, suggesting that funding alone isn't the issue. The good news is that the school is on an upward trajectory, and with attendance being a clear lever for improvement, there's real potential for continued gains.
