Summary

Chattahoochee Elementary School in Cumming, GA, serves approximately 810 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly-ranked Forsyth County School District, which ranks in the 97th percentile statewide.

Chattahoochee is a school that consistently outperforms state averages while facing unique challenges within its high-achieving district. For example, in 5th grade math, 57.5% of students are proficient—well above the state average of 44.1%—but still about 14 points below the district average. The school holds a 4-star rating and has improved its state ranking from 419th to 341st this year. One of its standout strengths is support for special education students, where it ranks in the 78th percentile statewide. The school also shows a notable difference in how it serves students by gender: boys rank in the 76th percentile while girls rank in the 66th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 20.7% to 10.9% over the past few years, though it remains slightly above the district average of 8.2%.

Chattahoochee serves a more economically diverse population than most nearby schools, with 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a figure that has risen significantly in recent years. This is much higher than neighbors like Haw Creek Elementary (12%) or Coal Mountain Elementary (31%), though similar to Cumming Elementary (60%). The school receives strong per-student funding ($15,614) and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1. While Chattahoochee ranks 8th out of 9 nearby Forsyth County elementary schools in state percentile, it exceeds state averages across most subjects and demonstrates efficient resource use. The school appears to be stabilizing after demographic shifts, and its improving attendance and special education outcomes suggest a positive trajectory for the evolving community it serves.
