Summary

Cloud Springs Elementary School in Rossville, GA, serves approximately 346 students in grades PK through 5 as part of Catoosa County Schools, a district rated 4 stars statewide.

Cloud Springs has shown remarkable progress over the past decade, climbing from the 27th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 59th percentile in 2025-2026—a gain of 22 percentile points in just the last four years. This improvement is especially notable given that nearly all students (98.84%) now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up sharply from 73.84% just two years ago. The school's standout results include 3rd grade math, where 66.6% of students met proficiency in 2025-2026—more than 20 points above the district average and the highest among nearby schools. Fifth grade science is another bright spot, with 55.8% proficient, exceeding both district and state averages by roughly 10-11 points. However, performance is uneven: 4th grade math proficiency (34.5%) trails the district by nearly 20 points, and 5th grade math (39.5%) sits slightly below average. This variability suggests that success may depend heavily on specific grade-level teams or cohorts rather than school-wide consistency.

The school's most pressing challenge is chronic absenteeism, which has risen steadily from 16.4% in 2021-2022 to 25.1% in 2025-2026—affecting one in four students and more than double the rates at nearby Boynton Elementary (12.1%) and Graysville Elementary (11.1%). Cloud Springs also spends significantly more per student ($18,304) than other Catoosa County schools, which typically spend between $13,000 and $14,400. Despite these challenges, the school outperforms most comparable high-poverty schools in nearby Walker County, including Cherokee Ridge (23rd percentile) and Stone Creek (19th percentile). For parents, Cloud Springs represents a school making genuine academic strides despite significant socioeconomic hurdles, though attendance and consistency across grade levels remain key areas to watch.
