Summary

Poplar Road Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Sharpsburg, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 586. The school is part of the Coweta County School District, which is ranked 39 out of 206 districts in Georgia and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Poplar Road Elementary School faces some challenges in terms of academic performance, with test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science generally lower than the Coweta County and Georgia state averages, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 students per teacher may be an advantage. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 49.66%, could be a contributing factor to the lower test scores, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with academic performance. Compared to nearby schools, Poplar Road performs better than some, such as Atkinson Elementary and Jefferson Parkway Elementary, but lags behind top-performing schools in the district, such as Moreland Elementary and Willis Road Elementary.

Poplar Road Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 351 out of 1,242 Georgia elementary schools in 2022-2023 (rated 4 stars) to 660 out of 1,234 in 2018-2019 (rated 2 stars). The school's ranking has generally improved over the past few years, but it still lags behind the top-performing schools in the state. Continued focus on targeted interventions and support for students could help the school enhance its academic outcomes and better serve its community.
