Summary

Willis Road Elementary in Sharpsburg, GA, is a mid-sized school serving 664 students in grades PK through 5 within the highly-rated Coweta County School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating with a statewide ranking in the 83rd percentile for the 2025-2026 school year.

Willis Road stands out as a top performer among its immediate Coweta County neighbors. In 5th-grade Mathematics, 60.9% of students were proficient, compared to 42.4% at Newnan Crossing Elementary School, 35.1% at Welch Elementary School, and 48.2% at White Oak Elementary School. The school's strongest results come in upper elementary grades, with 5th-grade Science proficiency at 64.8%—more than 12 points above the district average and 20 points above the state. After a dip in the 2024-2025 school year, Willis Road made a remarkable rebound, jumping 131 spots in statewide ranking. Math proficiency improved dramatically across all grade levels, with 3rd grade rising from 45.5% to 60.3% and 4th grade from 55.2% to 63%. The school also shows particular strength in serving male students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for that group.

While Willis Road performs well within its district, a striking contrast emerges when compared to nearby Fayette County schools like Kedron Elementary School, Oak Grove Elementary School, and Peachtree City Elementary School, which rank in the 94th-98th percentile with proficiency rates 15-25 points higher. Chronic absenteeism at Willis Road (15.4%) is better than district and state averages but remains higher than those Fayette schools (5.1%-8.9%). The school achieves its results efficiently, spending $13,983 per student—far less than the $18,926 spent at Thomas Crossroads Elementary School, a 5-star Coweta school that outperforms Willis Road in most metrics and has a lower student-teacher ratio (11.7 vs. 14).
