Summary

Sixes Elementary School in Canton, GA, is a high-performing school within the Cherokee County district, serving 741 students in grades PK-5 and earning a 4-star rating with a state ranking of 142nd out of 1,219 schools (88th percentile).

Sixes Elementary stands out as a clear academic leader in its immediate area. Its math proficiency rates are exceptionally strong across all grade levels—for example, 81.3% of 5th graders are proficient in math, which is 23 points above the district average and 37 points above the state average. This is the highest math proficiency rate among all nearby schools, including Bascomb Elementary (which ranks slightly higher overall) and Boston Elementary. The school also excels in supporting its Hispanic students, ranking 24th out of 503 schools statewide for that subgroup—a 5-star performance that outpaces its overall ranking. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at just 4.8%, less than half the district rate (10.2%) and far below the state rate (17.7%). This rate has improved steadily over the past five years, from a peak of 17.8% in 2021-2022, which likely contributes to the school's strong and improving academics.

While math is a consistent strength, 5th-grade science performance is more variable—currently at 60.7% proficiency (above the district's 53.3%), though it dipped below the district average in 2023-2024. The school is also notably efficient with its resources, spending $14,937 per student—similar to or less than nearby schools like Oak Grove Elementary ($18,015) and Carmel Elementary ($16,024)—while achieving better outcomes. Compared to its closest neighbors, Liberty Elementary (1.68 miles away) and Boston Elementary (3.57 miles away), Sixes posts higher rankings and lower economic need among its student body, highlighting a notable achievement gap between schools that are geographically close but serve different populations. For parents, Sixes offers a strong, efficient, and engaging learning environment with a proven track record in math and attendance.
