Summary

Arnco-Sargent Elementary School in Newnan, GA, serves about 357 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Coweta County School District, earning a 2-star rating and ranking in the 35th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

For parents, the most important thing to know is that Arnco-Sargent faces real academic challenges, especially in the early grades. In 3rd grade math, only 25% of students met proficiency standards, compared to a 61.2% district average—a gap of more than 36 percentage points. The gap narrows significantly by 5th grade, where math proficiency reaches 43.2%, nearly matching the state average of 44.1%. This upward trend suggests that students who stay at the school may make meaningful progress over time. Science is a relative bright spot, with 5th graders achieving 43.2% proficiency, close to the state average. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, which allows for more individualized attention. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 21.4% to 16.8%, now better than the district average.

Compared to nearby schools, the achievement gap is stark. Brooks Elementary, just over 6 miles away, ranks in the 94th percentile with 5 stars and achieves 87% proficiency in 3rd grade math. Elm Street Elementary and Northside Elementary also rank significantly higher. Notably, Arnco-Sargent spends $18,419 per student—about $6,000 more than Brooks—yet achieves far lower results. However, Ruth Hill Elementary serves an even higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79%) yet ranks in the 61st percentile, showing that poverty alone doesn't determine outcomes. The school's recent decline from the 55th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 35th percentile is concerning, but the improving attendance, strong teacher ratio, and narrowing gaps by 5th grade offer a foundation for future growth.

Open Quote The teachers do a great job. The problem is with discipline not being handled properly, which in turn affects the learning environment. Good students are struggling to learn due to all the disruptions in the classroom. It is all about the administration in the building turning their heads, allowing disruptions to continue, and rewarding bad behavior. There is a reason so many teachers have quit at this school in the past 2 years. The county needs to dig a little deeper into the problem. Close Quote
