Summary

Crabapple Crossing Elementary School in Alpharetta, GA, is a top-performing public school serving 628 students in grades PK-5 within the Fulton County School District, and it has earned a 5-star rating every year for the past decade.

This school consistently ranks among the best in Georgia, currently placing 61st out of 1,219 elementary schools statewide—a spot in the 95th percentile. While that's a slight dip from its recent 23rd-place finish in 2023-2024, the school has never ranked below the 95th percentile in ten years. One of its most impressive strengths is math: 94.9% of 4th graders are proficient, which is nearly 45 points above the state average. The school also shines in English Language Arts based on recent years' data (current-year ELA scores arrive in December). Perhaps the most striking differentiator is attendance—only 1.8% of students are chronically absent, compared to 16.6% for the district and 17.7% statewide. That's the lowest rate among nearby schools, including Sweet Apple Elementary (2.9%) and Summit Hill Elementary (3.4%).

While Crabapple Crossing remains elite, a few areas are worth noting. Fifth-grade math proficiency (74.8%) lags behind 3rd and 4th grades—a pattern seen at nearby schools like Cogburn Woods Elementary and Summit Hill, suggesting a broader curriculum challenge. Science is the school's relative weak spot at 66.4% proficiency, below Alpharetta Elementary (80.9%) and Sweet Apple (80%). The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending about $14,850 per student—less than Sweet Apple ($17,660) or Alpharetta Elementary ($21,169). With strong performance across all student subgroups and a decade of stability, Crabapple Crossing offers a dependable, high-quality education, though families may want to watch how the school addresses the 5th-grade math and science trends.

Enrollment down 20 due to underlying issues. CRT training starts very early here in 1st grade. Your kid will not bring anything home
Regarding american revolution founding fathers or abe lincoln or native americans. High turnover with principals and staff. Teachers are bad and only there for a paycheck. Voted to not have homework so kids have no homework but expect themselves to test out. I have never heard of school that doesnt believe homework provides any benefits so the parents hold the job of actually doing the teaching teachers are basically babysitting here trying to do least amount of work as possible. Asians account for the overall high test average. If your kidd is average expect to do all the teaching and 25 drop in enrollment is not due to covid. It is due to fed up parents pulling there kids out to go elsewhere if you think i am making any of this up just ask them about CRT at crabapple. And what papers there kids are bringing home. My review is true of this school Close Quote
