Summary

Providence Elementary School in Temple, GA, serves 557 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Carroll County school district, and it currently holds a 4-star rating with a statewide ranking in the 74th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year.

Providence stands out for its exceptional 3rd grade math performance, with 68.2% of students scoring proficient or above—about 16 points higher than the district average and nearly 20 points above the state. The school also shows a consistent strength in 5th grade science, beating state averages by 10 to 25 points over the past three years. However, families should note a recurring dip in math proficiency between 3rd and 4th grade (from 68.2% down to 44.1% this year), which may reflect a transition challenge or cohort differences. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 28.8% in 2021-2022 to just 12.1% now—well below the district (15.3%) and state (17.7%) averages, and better than nearby Sharp Creek Elementary (21.0%) and Glanton-Hindsman Elementary (16.3%).

Compared to its closest neighbor, Temple Elementary (just under a mile away), Providence holds a slight edge in overall ranking (74th vs. 71st percentile). While Temple excels in 5th grade science (66.3% vs. Providence's 55.1%), Providence leads clearly in 3rd grade math (68.2% vs. 43%). Providence also stands out for efficiency: at $12,772 per student, it spends significantly less than Sharp Creek ($16,408) or Union Elementary ($17,862), yet achieves stronger academic outcomes. With a five-year upward trajectory, strong early-grade math, excellent science results, and a major improvement in attendance, Providence offers a solid, cost-effective option for families in the Temple area.
