This school has shown impressive consistency and growth over the past decade, climbing from a 3-star rating and 455th place in 2015-2016 to its current strong position. The most notable academic strength is in mathematics, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades, where proficiency rates (64.1% and 66% respectively) significantly exceed state averages by about 16 points. However, 5th grade math presents a persistent challenge, with proficiency dropping to 44%—a 22-point decline from 4th grade that has appeared consistently over multiple years. Science performance has been a bright spot, surging from 36.9% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 60.8% in 2024-2025, and while it pulled back to 49.4% this year, it still exceeds the state average. The school also excels at keeping students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 12.7%—well below the district (19.2%) and state (17.7%) averages, and a significant improvement from 19.4% just two years ago.
Compared to nearby schools, Moreland ranks second only to Elm Street Elementary School (167th) among seven local Coweta elementary schools, outperforming Ruth Hill Elementary School (473rd), Atkinson Elementary School, and Jefferson Parkway Elementary School (984th). What makes this achievement notable is the school's efficiency—it spends $15,672 per student, less than several lower-performing peers, and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1. The school also shows a gender gap in performance, with female students ranking in the 79th percentile compared to 70th for males. While current English Language Arts scores won't be available until December, historical data shows strong 4th and 5th grade performance. Overall, Moreland Elementary presents as a solid, improving school with strong attendance, efficient resource use, and clear areas for targeted growth in 5th grade math.
