Summary

Brandywine Elementary School in Alpharetta, GA, serves approximately 968 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly-ranked Forsyth County School District, which holds a 5-star rating statewide.

Brandywine stands out from its neighbors for its economic diversity. About 36% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch—a rate 2 to 7 times higher than nearby schools like Brookwood Elementary (13.8%) or Creek View Elementary (5.1%). Despite this, the school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating for seven years, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide. Its special education program is a particular strength, ranking in the 86th percentile for that subgroup—a standout achievement. The school also shows strong progress in science, with 5th graders (65.8% proficient) actually outpacing the district average (65.1%). In math, the gap with the district narrows significantly as students advance: from a 10.8-point gap in 3rd grade to just 3.7 points by 5th grade, suggesting effective academic growth in upper elementary years.

Brandywine has also made notable strides in attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from a peak of 17.1% in 2022-2023 to 9.9% in 2025-2026—well below the state average of 17.7%. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $14,444 per pupil (up 44% over four years) and maintaining a favorable 13.9:1 student-teacher ratio. While it doesn't reach the top-tier rankings of some more affluent neighboring schools like Summit Hill Elementary, Brandywine's consistent performance while serving a more diverse population makes it a compelling choice. Families should note that English Language Learner support (46th percentile) and a gender gap in performance (girls rank 89th percentile vs. boys at 82nd) are areas for potential improvement, but overall this is a school that delivers solid results across a broad range of student needs.

Good for Spanish speaking crowd and no emphasis on academics at all. Teachers are Spanish and have a lot of favoritism as well. Principal doesn’t care about school rankings or academics. Not a good school if you want your kids to excel academically Close Quote
