Summary

Sharp Creek Elementary School in Carrollton, GA, serves 547 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Carroll County district, which holds a 3-star rating statewide.

Sharp Creek currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking in the 39th percentile of Georgia elementary schools—a decline from its 67th percentile ranking in 2018-2019. The school faces notable challenges, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 5th grade math, only 34.7% of Sharp Creek students scored proficient, compared to 69.3% at Central Elementary School, just 7.5 miles away. Similar gaps appear in 5th grade science (34.6% vs. 65.7% at Central) and 3rd grade math (33% vs. 61.3% at Central). Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with 21% of students missing significant school time—nearly four times the rate at Central (5.6%) and above both the district (15.3%) and state (17.7%) averages. While the school has improved from a 27% absenteeism rate last year, it remains a key area for growth.

There are some encouraging signs. Fourth grade math proficiency jumped from 29.6% to 46.7% in one year, suggesting targeted interventions are working. The school also spends more per student ($16,408) and has smaller class sizes (11.3:1 student-teacher ratio) than any comparable school in the district, providing resources that could be leveraged for further improvement. While the school's overall trajectory has been downward since the pandemic, the progress in 4th grade math and the school's relative strength in serving African American students (52nd percentile) offer models that could be expanded to other grades and subjects. For parents, this is a school with real challenges, but also with clear signs that improvement is possible when strategies are effectively implemented.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, February 22, 2016

The new administration is changing Sharp Creek. The teachers seem to feel appreciated and the kids are rewarded for good behavior. The students get recognized for doing well on their work. As a parent I also appreciate that those not doing the right thing are held accountable for their choices. It was hard getting adjusted to the new procedures, but it has been good changes. I do wish the school had a good PTO, but I don't know anyone that wants to do it, and working full time being a single mom, I can't (so I have no room to complain if I can't be a part of it). I am glad my child has a few more years at Sharp Creek because I'm excited to see the continued improvements. The new principal and assistant principal even try to know the names of all the students, which has got to be hard! Close Quote
