Summary

Campbell Elementary School in Fairburn, GA, is a PK-5 school in the Fulton County district serving 730 students, all of whom qualify for free or reduced lunch, in a high-need community.

Campbell Elementary stands out for its remarkable progress in student attendance. The chronic absenteeism rate has dropped from 32.6% in 2021-2022 to just 11.7% in 2025-2026—now better than both the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages, and the lowest among nearby Fulton County elementary schools. This is a significant achievement that shows the school has successfully tackled a major barrier to learning. At the same time, the school invests heavily in its students: it spends $19,089 per student (higher than most neighbors like E. C. West Elementary School at $16,701) and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1, meaning smaller class sizes than many comparable schools. Another bright spot is the school’s effectiveness with its African American students, who ranked in the 56th percentile statewide—well above the school’s overall 28th percentile ranking.

However, academic performance remains a challenge. The school’s overall state ranking has slipped from the 52nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 28th percentile in 2025-2026, and test scores generally trail district and state averages. That said, Campbell is not the lowest performer in its cohort—for example, in 5th-grade math, its proficiency rate (26.5%) exceeds Oakley Elementary School (17.2%) and Gullatt Elementary School (23.0%). The contrast with Robert J. Burch Elementary School in Fayette County is stark—Burch serves a wealthier population (53% free/reduced lunch) and outperforms Campbell in every subject. The key takeaway for parents: Campbell has made impressive strides in attendance and invests heavily in resources, but translating those gains into higher test scores remains the school’s next big challenge.
