This school delivers exceptional academic results that far exceed state averages. In the most recent testing cycle, math proficiency ranged from 73.9% to 77.8% across grades 3-5, while 5th grade science proficiency reached 78.9%—a remarkable 34.7 percentage point advantage over the state average.

With a favorable 13.5:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $15,253, the school demonstrates efficient resource use—achieving top-100 performance at a cost lower than several nearby schools that rank far lower, such as Cleveland Elementary School, which spends $19,408 per student yet ranks 481st statewide.

While Peachtree City Elementary is consistently excellent, a comparison with nearby Braelinn Elementary School (just 4.15 miles away) shows Braelinn currently ranks 33rd statewide versus Peachtree City's 72nd, with higher proficiency in nearly every subject—for example, 91.7% of Braelinn's 4th graders are proficient in math versus 77.8% at Peachtree City. However, Peachtree City significantly outperforms schools with higher poverty levels, such as Robert J. Burch Elementary School, where a 14.0% chronic absenteeism rate correlates with math proficiency rates 15-30 percentage points lower. The school's ranking history shows remarkable stability, never falling below the 92nd percentile over the past decade, with a notable dip in 2022-2023 (101st) followed by a quick rebound to 62nd and 63rd in subsequent years—demonstrating strong systems for identifying and addressing challenges. This is a school where strong attendance, efficient spending, and consistent instructional excellence create a stable, well-supported learning environment for all students.

Open Quote Very bad experience here. My child cannot read well but has no help. Unfortunately, it's many children who are being academically neglected here. Good teachers but terrible administration. Close Quote
