Summary

Peeples Elementary School in Fayetteville, GA, is a top-ranked public school serving 658 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the highly regarded Fayette County district.

Peeples is an academic powerhouse, currently ranked 38th out of 1,219 elementary schools in Georgia—placing it in the 97th percentile statewide. Its math scores are exceptional and remarkably consistent across all grade levels, with 79% of 3rd graders, 80.8% of 4th graders, and 80.5% of 5th graders proficient in 2025-2026. That's far above the state average of roughly 44-50% and well above the district average of 66-73%. The school truly shines in 5th-grade science, where 87.2% of students are proficient—nearly double the state average and higher than every nearby school, including Braelinn Elementary (71.2%) and Oak Grove Elementary (75%). Only Braelinn, ranked 33rd statewide, is a comparable academic peer in the immediate area.

The school spends $15,476 per student—similar to other high performers like Peachtree City Elementary ($15,253)—yet achieves better results than schools spending significantly more, such as Cleveland Elementary ($19,408) and Oak Grove ($19,095). Peeples also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.2%, less than a third of the state average (17.7%) and lower than most neighbors, including Inman Elementary (8.8%) and Huddleston Elementary (8.9%). This consistency isn't new—Peeples has ranked in the top 72 schools statewide for a decade, with math scores staying high across all grades for four straight years. The school also performs strongly across student subgroups, ranking in the 97th percentile for both male and female students and earning a 4-star rating for special education support.
