Alto Park Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-4
Summary

Alto Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 430 students in grades PK-4 in Rome, Georgia, which is part of the Floyd County School District. While the district is ranked 32 out of 206 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Alto Park Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests.

Alto Park Elementary has significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the Floyd County and Georgia state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25% of 3rd graders at Alto Park were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44.5% in the district and 34.9% statewide. The school also has very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.94% to 81.86% in recent years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools. Despite spending more per student ($12,622 in 2018-2019) than other Floyd County elementary schools, Alto Park's academic performance continues to lag behind.

Alto Park Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years, in contrast to the higher-performing Armuchee Primary and Pepperell Elementary schools in the district, which have 4-star ratings. The school's challenges may be rooted in a combination of demographic, resource, and other factors that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
