Summary

Elm Street Elementary School in Newnan, GA, serves 477 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Coweta County School District, and has earned a strong reputation as a consistent 4-star performer with a state ranking in the 86th percentile.

What truly sets Elm Street apart is its exceptional mathematics achievement. In the most recent testing cycle, proficiency rates reached 66.7% in 3rd grade, 67.6% in 4th grade, and 65.8% in 5th grade—far exceeding state averages by 18 to 21 percentage points. The 5th grade math advantage over the district is particularly striking at nearly 14 points. Science performance is equally impressive, with 61.6% of 5th graders scoring proficient compared to 44.2% statewide, continuing a three-year trend of strong results. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.4%, roughly half the district average of 19.2%, which likely supports consistent learning. When compared to nearby Welch Elementary School—which serves a similar student population—Elm Street's 5th grade math proficiency (65.8%) is nearly double Welch's 35.1%, and its 3rd grade math advantage is almost 25 points.

Elm Street's success is not limited to one group of students. The school performs in the 88th percentile for both female and white students, the 84th percentile for males, and the 77th percentile for African American students, indicating strong results across diverse populations. This achievement is especially notable given that the school spends less per student ($14,441) than several lower-performing nearby schools, including Ruth Hill Elementary ($19,241) and Jefferson Parkway Elementary ($17,562). Elm Street's upward trajectory—climbing from a 3-star rating to a consistent 4-star performer since 2018—combined with its strong attendance culture and cost-effective excellence, makes it a standout choice for families seeking a school that delivers results across all grade levels and student groups.
