Summary

Nolan Elementary School is a public elementary school located in College Park, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 665 students. The school is part of the Fulton County School District, which is ranked 47th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's overall performance, Nolan Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Fulton County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.9% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.8% in Fulton County and 34.9% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Fulton County district, such as Feldwood Elementary, Heritage Elementary, and Oakley Elementary, generally outperform Nolan Elementary School in academic metrics, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the underperformance of Nolan Elementary.
