Summary

Mount Zion Elementary School in Carrollton, GA, serves approximately 640 students in grades PK through 5 and has earned a 4-star rating—its strongest performance in nearly a decade. The school has climbed from the 57th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 76th percentile in 2025-2026, placing it 287th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools and comfortably above the Carroll County district's overall profile.

Mount Zion's standout strength is science: 5th grade proficiency jumped from 35.6% to 64% in a single year—13 points above the district average and nearly 20 points above the state. Math performance is also consistently strong across all tested grades, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders all outperforming both district and state averages. The school has also made remarkable progress on attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 37.6% in 2021-2022 to just 12.8% in 2025-2026—now well below the district (15.3%) and state (17.7%) averages. Female students are particularly well-served, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide.

Compared to nearby schools, Mount Zion significantly outperforms Sharp Creek Elementary (39th percentile) despite spending about $3,500 less per student. However, Central Elementary (6.3 miles away) posts higher scores in most subjects, and Roopville Elementary ranks in the 81st percentile. The Bremen City schools, part of a top-4 district statewide, show notably higher math proficiency (e.g., 74.7% in 4th grade vs. Mount Zion's 55.2%). With a student-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 and steady per-student spending increases, Mount Zion appears to be achieving solid efficiency—strong outcomes without premium spending—and building sustainable momentum for the years ahead.
