Summary

Ithica Elementary in Villa Rica, GA, serves 809 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Carroll County School District, and has earned a 4-star rating for ten consecutive years.

Ithica Elementary stands out for its consistent strength in mathematics and science. In the most recent testing cycle, 3rd grade math proficiency reached 60.4% and 4th grade math hit 59.6%, both well above district and state averages. The school's 5th grade science proficiency of 54.3% also exceeds the district (51%) and state (44.2%) benchmarks. These results place Ithica among the top performers in the area—its 3rd and 4th grade math scores beat every other nearby Carroll County elementary school, including Providence Elementary and Sand Hill Elementary. The school also excels at keeping students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.9%—far lower than the district average of 15.3% and the state average of 17.7%. For comparison, nearby Sharp Creek Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.0%.

One area worth watching is 5th grade math, where proficiency dropped to 42.3% in the most recent year—a notable dip from the 59.6% seen in 4th grade and below the district average of 50%. This may reflect a cohort-specific challenge rather than a school-wide trend, given that 5th grade math was strong (62.4%) just two years earlier. Ithica also demonstrates strong results across student subgroups, ranking in the 75th percentile for African American students and 72nd percentile for Hispanic students statewide. The school achieves these outcomes with efficient spending of $12,901 per student, compared to $16,408 at Sharp Creek Elementary and $18,011 at Winston Elementary, both of which rank lower overall. While South Douglas Elementary in Douglas County outperforms Ithica in some subjects, Ithica remains a reliably strong, efficient choice for families in the Villa Rica area.

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
