Summary

Northside Elementary School in Newnan, GA, serves 366 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly rated Coweta County School District, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide.

Northside is a consistently strong performer, currently ranking 186th out of 1,219 elementary schools in Georgia—a significant jump from 282nd the previous year. The school's standout subject is mathematics, where proficiency rates in 2025-2026 reached 71.2% in 3rd grade, 63.6% in 4th grade, and 56.9% in 5th grade, all well above state averages. Science is another highlight, with 5th graders achieving a 66.6% proficiency rate—more than 22 percentage points above the state average and a dramatic one-year improvement from 42.9%. Perhaps most impressive is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of just 11.0%, far lower than the district's 19.2% and the state's 17.7%, meaning students are consistently in class and ready to learn. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student ($17,840) than nearby schools like Ruth Hill Elementary School ($19,241) and Arnco-Sargent Elementary School ($18,419) while outperforming them academically.

Compared to nearby schools, Northside's results are especially notable given its student population, where 39% qualify for free or reduced lunch. For context, Brooks Elementary, just under 5 miles away, ranks 77th statewide with a lower economic disadvantage rate of 28%, while Jefferson Parkway Elementary, only 2 miles away, ranks in the 19th percentile with an 86.67% free/reduced lunch rate and a 21.2% chronic absenteeism rate. Northside's balanced performance across student subgroups—with female students in the 86th percentile and male students in the 82nd percentile—suggests its strategies work broadly. With a favorable 13.5:1 student-teacher ratio and a 27% increase in per-student spending over three years, Northside is on a clear upward trajectory and appears well-positioned to continue climbing in statewide rankings.
