Summary

Ithica Elementary is a public elementary school in Villa Rica, Georgia, serving 781 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Carroll County School District. This high-performing school consistently ranks in the top 20% of Georgia elementary schools, outpacing the county and state averages in academic proficiency across core subjects.

Ithica Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its strong performance on the Milestones Assessment. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the county and state in 3rd grade English Language Arts (50.7% vs. 40% and 34.9%), 3rd grade Mathematics (66.7% vs. 53.1% and 44.3%), and 5th grade Science (60.3% vs. 55.5% and 43.8%). This consistent academic achievement is a testament to the school's effective educational program and resource allocation, as evidenced by its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 compared to nearby schools.

While Ithica Elementary serves a diverse student population, with 65.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school's academic performance remains strong. This is in contrast to some nearby schools, such as Providence Elementary (70.33% free/reduced lunch) and Glanton-Hindsman Elementary (79.39% free/reduced lunch), which have higher poverty rates but lower academic outcomes. Ithica Elementary's ability to support students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and deliver exceptional results is a noteworthy accomplishment.

Our son is in Kindergarten and I am getting ready to register my daughter as well! This school is absolutely wonderful!! Every single person I have encountered really cares about the students. The principal as well as the assistant principal and the staff run everything in excellence. My son really enjoys going to this school and his teacher and para pro are doing a great job! I could go on and on about how much we love the school. Highly recommended and just an all around great school! Close Quote
