Summary

Cleveland Elementary School in Fayetteville, GA, serves 414 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly rated Fayette County school district, which ranks in the 94th percentile statewide.

Cleveland Elementary holds a 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the 61st percentile of Georgia elementary schools. This is notably lower than many of its nearby peers—for example, Kedron Elementary ranks in the 98th percentile, Oak Grove Elementary in the 95th, and Peachtree City Elementary in the 94th. The school’s math proficiency rates are also below district and state averages—for instance, 3rd-grade math proficiency is 39.7% compared to the district average of 66.5%. However, the school shows a clear strength in serving its African American students, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for this subgroup—a standout result that suggests effective instructional strategies for this population.

One of the most interesting findings is the school’s investment in resources. Cleveland Elementary spends $19,408 per student—higher than higher-performing neighbors like Kedron ($12,887) and Peachtree City ($15,253)—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3, compared to 15.6 at Kedron and 15.1 at Sara Harp Minter Elementary. Despite this, academic outcomes have not yet caught up, and the school’s state ranking dipped from 261st in 2024-2025 to 481st in 2025-2026. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 20.5% in 2022-2023 to 11.2% in 2025-2026—now below the state average of 17.7%—showing a focused, successful effort to improve attendance, which is a key foundation for learning.
