Summary

Gullatt Elementary School in Union City, GA, serves approximately 712 students in grades PK-5 as part of Fulton County Schools, with all students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Gullatt is showing signs of a genuine turnaround, even though its overall state ranking remains low (20th percentile). The most dramatic improvement is in attendance: chronic absenteeism has plummeted from a staggering 51.4% in 2021-2022 to just 14.5% in 2025-2026—now better than both the district (16.6%) and state averages. This 72% reduction suggests that efforts to get kids to school are working. Academically, the school posted a standout gain in 3rd grade math, jumping from 18.1% proficient to 34.6% in one year—nearly doubling. Science remains a relative strength, with 27.4% of 5th graders proficient, closer to the state average than math scores are. The school has also invested heavily in its students, increasing per-student spending by 47.5% over three years (to $18,928) and improving the student-teacher ratio to 13:1.

However, the picture is mixed when compared to nearby schools serving similar populations. Just 2.46 miles away, Liberty Point Elementary (61st percentile) achieves 50% proficiency in 5th grade math versus Gullatt's 23%, and 40.7% in science versus 27.4%. Similarly, Lee Elementary (63rd percentile) and Wolf Creek Elementary (47th percentile) outperform Gullatt despite comparable demographics. This gap shows the challenges are not insurmountable, but also that increased funding hasn't yet translated into proportional academic gains. The encouraging news is that Gullatt's trajectory is positive—its current ranking is its best since at least 2015—and the 3rd grade math jump may be the first sign that improved attendance and resources are finally reaching the classroom. For parents, this is a school in transition, with real momentum but still work to do.
