Summary

Carrollton Upper Elementary in Carrollton, GA, serves 817 students in grades 4-5 within the Carrollton City district, holding a 3-star rating and ranking in the 59th percentile of Georgia elementary schools.

One of the school's clear strengths is 4th-grade math, where 56.8% of students scored proficient or above—nearly 7 points higher than the state average. This has been a consistent bright spot for three straight years. Attendance is another standout: the chronic absenteeism rate of 12.0% is well below both the district (16.7%) and state (17.7%) averages, and it has improved steadily over the past five years. However, 5th-grade science is a concern, with only 35.4% proficient versus 44.2% statewide—an 11-point drop from two years ago. There's also a persistent gap between grade levels in math: 4th graders outperform 5th graders by about 11 points, a pattern that has held for several years and may signal a challenging transition to more advanced material.

Compared to nearby schools, Carrollton Upper Elementary's 4th-grade math is competitive with Mount Zion Elementary (55.2%) and Sand Hill Elementary (51.9%), though it trails Central Elementary (60.1%) and Whitesburg Elementary (68.2%). In 5th-grade math, the school falls behind several Carroll County schools, including Central (69.3%) and Roopville Elementary (65.1%). The most striking contrast is with Bremen 4th & 5th Grade Academy, a 5-star school just 11 miles away with dramatically higher math scores (74.7% in 4th grade) and a much lower poverty rate. While Carrollton Upper Elementary serves a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (60.6% free/reduced lunch), its strong attendance and solid 4th-grade math performance show a school with real strengths to build on, even as it works to close gaps in science and upper-grade math.
