Summary

Arnold Mill Elementary School in Woodstock, GA, serves approximately 767 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Cherokee County School District, and has earned a 4-star rating while ranking in the 87th percentile statewide for the 2025–2026 school year.

Arnold Mill’s standout strength is mathematics. In 2025–2026, proficiency rates reached 62.3% in 3rd grade, 71.5% in 4th grade, and 69.1% in 5th grade—all well above district and state averages. The 4th-grade math score of 71.5% exceeds the district average by 9.5 points and the state by 21.4 points. This isn’t a one-year fluke; the school has posted consistently strong math results for years, with 4th-grade scores above 76% in three of the past four years. Science is also a rising star: 5th-grade science proficiency hit 67% in 2025–2026, which is 13.7 points above the district and 22.8 points above the state. Among nearby schools, only Mountain Park Elementary (81.4%) and Garrison Mill Elementary (76.6%) posted higher science scores, though both serve more affluent populations. Arnold Mill also excels at getting kids to school—chronic absenteeism has dropped from 18.7% in 2021–2022 to just 7.8% now, far below the state average of 17.7%.

Within Cherokee County, Arnold Mill ranks second among nearby elementary schools, trailing only Hickory Flat Elementary (95th percentile), but it significantly outperforms Woodstock Elementary (71st percentile) and Johnston Elementary (76th percentile), both of which serve higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The school also shows strong results for male and Hispanic students, with Hispanic students ranking in the top quintile statewide. One area for growth is special education, where the school’s ranking sits at the 47th percentile—the only subgroup below 4 stars. Overall, Arnold Mill has climbed from the 71st percentile a decade ago to its current high-80s position, reflecting sustained, positive momentum.

Great school with staff that really cares about the child's well being.
Their special education accommodations are really good and teachers
are sweet.
From the front desk, principal, aids, teachers, just everyone
provides a very sweet atmosphere.

Love it! Close Quote

Both my boys went there and I was thrilled with how helpful the staff was and the awesome teachers they both had. If you are looking for a district to move into, this is a great one. Mill Creek Middle school was also great and now we've just finished with our first year at River Ridge Highschool and loved it! It's great to live in Cherokee County! Close Quote
