Summary

E. C. West Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fairburn, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 661 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 being part of a relatively high-performing district, E. C. West Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Fulton County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 32.4% in 3rd grade ELA, 49.1% in 4th grade ELA, and 52.4% in 5th grade ELA, compared to Fulton County's 49.8%, 54%, and 58.9%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 732 out of 1,240 Georgia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 431 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's high-poverty student population, as evidenced by its 100% free and reduced lunch rate, may contribute to the academic challenges faced by E. C. West Elementary. However, the school's spending per student is comparable to nearby schools in the Fulton County district, such as Cliftondale Elementary, Lee Elementary, and Wolf Creek Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics. This suggests that factors beyond funding, such as instructional practices and support systems, may be contributing to the academic underperformance at E. C. West Elementary School.

Please visit your child when you can. Make sure to ask your child how was there day. I have seen children eating alone as punishment . Teachers yelling and talking to children in an unprofessional tone (LOUD) and just nasty. Lead by example .
A teacher did not allow a child to use the bathroom.The child wet her clothes because she was FORCED to hold herself. When the child is asked years from now what was your most wonderful experience in school or worst as 2nd grader thanks to that teacher, what will be her answer? So Sad that someone that a child is suppose to look up to would do this. The teacher admitted she was WRONG !! Lets give her a 🌟.She should be Fired. This child has permission by love ones to walk out of class to use the bathroom.The teacher is unprofessional and a class change is in progress. People always say change the class or change the school. No she has a Right to be teached! AND treated with kidness.The teacher should be the one to LEAVE. This teacher is expecting a child. I wonder what she would do if someone did this to your child?
Shout out to the bus drivers that get the children to school on time.
Shout out to the teacher's that really care.
The lunch personal is very professional. The lunch could use a better menu and not over cooked and served warmer.
The front office personal are also professional.
I wish that more people would do something and say something when you know a child is being mistreated.
