Summary

Ringgold Elementary School serves 445 students in grades 3-5 in Ringgold, GA, part of the Catoosa County School District, and holds a 3-star rating with a statewide rank in the 51st percentile.

The most impressive thing about Ringgold Elementary is its attendance record. Only 8.1% of students are chronically absent—less than half the district rate of 16.4% and well below the state average of 17.7%. This isn't a fluke; the school has consistently posted rates far better than its peers for five straight years. For comparison, nearby Cloud Springs Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.1%, more than three times higher. Academically, the school shows a clear pattern: students get stronger as they move up. In 5th grade, math proficiency (44.9%) matches the state average, and science proficiency (50.8%) actually exceeds both district and state averages—a rate that has doubled over the past three years. However, 3rd-grade math proficiency (32.6%) lags notably behind the state (48.3%), suggesting students may enter with gaps that the school progressively closes. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1.

Ringgold Elementary sits in the middle of its geographic neighbors. Boynton Elementary (2.9 miles away) ranks in the 78th percentile, and Graysville Elementary (4.7 miles away) ranks in the 64th, both outperforming Ringgold. But Ringgold beats Tiger Creek Elementary (40th percentile) and West Side Elementary (37th percentile). The school has remained remarkably stable over the past decade, never dropping below the 51st percentile or rising above the 69th. Notably, the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch has jumped from 41.5% to nearly 56% in just two years, yet the school's overall performance has held steady—a sign of resilience. While the school's special education and White student subgroups rank lower than desired, the exceptional attendance culture and strong upper-grade science and math growth are genuine bright spots for families considering this school.
