Summary

Willis Road Elementary consistently ranks in the top 30% of Georgia elementary schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in 4th grade English Language Arts and 4th and 5th grade Mathematics. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.9 to 15.9 over the past three years, which is lower than nearby schools in the Coweta County district. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased from $8,561 in 2016-2017 to $9,487 in 2018-2019, exceeding the state average.

While Kedron Elementary and Peachtree City Elementary in the neighboring Fayette County district consistently outperform Willis Road Elementary, the school faces challenges in addressing the growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients increasing from 23.31% in 2022-2023 to 34.5% in 2023-2024. Additionally, there have been some fluctuations in test scores, particularly in 5th grade Mathematics and Science, which the school will need to address to maintain its strong academic performance.
