of 1,219 Georgia Elementary Schools

Better than 92% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Northwood Elementary School in Roswell, GA, serves 576 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Fulton County School District, which ranks in the top quarter of Georgia districts. Northwood has earned a 5-star rating and ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide (99th out of 1,219 elementary schools), a position it has held consistently for the past decade—never dropping below the 88th percentile.

Academically, Northwood significantly outperforms district and state averages in every subject. For example, 83% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, compared to 62.2% district-wide and 48.3% statewide. Science is a particular strength: 74.3% of 5th graders are proficient, which is 30 points above the state average and has improved for three straight years. The school also excels at keeping students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.6%—far below the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages. This consistency extends across student subgroups, with strong results for all demographic groups. While Northwood is a top performer, it is not the highest in its immediate area: Barnwell Elementary (99th percentile) and New Prospect Elementary (95th percentile) edge it out, while River Eves Elementary (93rd percentile) is a close peer. The contrast with nearby Mimosa Elementary (26th percentile) is stark—83% of Northwood 3rd graders are proficient in math versus 37.2% at Mimosa—though the two schools serve very different student populations.

One area to watch is 5th grade math, which has dipped from 76.1% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 67.9% now, though it remains nearly 24 points above the state average. Per-student spending has risen 29% over three years to $17,162, which is actually lower than several nearby schools that achieve weaker results, suggesting efficient use of resources. Northwood sits in a remarkable cluster of high-performing schools in the Roswell area, with five schools within 3.5 miles ranking in the 82nd percentile or higher—a sign of a community with strong educational values.
