Summary

Boston Elementary School in Woodstock, GA, serves 651 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Cherokee County School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating with a current statewide rank of 279th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools—its best showing in at least a decade.

This year, Boston Elementary is showing real momentum. The school posted a dramatic 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 56.6%, which beats the district average (53.3%) and far exceeds the state average (44.2%). It also outperforms several nearby schools in science, including Liberty Elementary (40.9%), Clark Creek Elementary (29.5%), and Woodstock Elementary (52.3%). Math scores also improved significantly year-over-year, especially in 5th grade, which jumped from 34% to 54.2% proficiency—a 20-point gain that brought the school within striking distance of the district average. While 4th-grade math dipped slightly, the overall trend is positive. The school also cut chronic absenteeism from 11.6% to 6.7%, well below the district (10.2%) and state (17.7%) averages, and it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1.

Compared to Bascomb Elementary, just 0.7 miles away and the area's top performer, Boston still trails in overall scores—Bascomb posts math proficiency between 73-79% and a 2.0% absenteeism rate. However, the gap is narrowing quickly, particularly in 5th-grade math and science. Boston also spends more per student ($16,186) than most nearby schools, including Sixes Elementary ($14,937) and Oak Grove Elementary ($18,015), though Carmel Elementary spends slightly less. With strong science, improving math, and better attendance, Boston Elementary appears to be a school on the rise—one worth watching for families seeking a supportive, improving environment in Cherokee County.

My children are in First and Third grade this year and Boston is a FABULOUS school! Every time I am at the school to have lunch with my kids or help out with a PTA function, I always feel like I am among extended family. Our Music teacher is Fantastic she has her doctorate in Fine Arts and the principal is very present in the school. She is always out and about and probably knows the names of all 600+ children!

This is a great area to live and have your children go to school!
