Summary

College Park Elementary in College Park, GA, serves approximately 475 students in grades PK-5 as part of Fulton County schools, with all students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school has faced significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 12% of Georgia elementary schools, but it has shown meaningful forward momentum in recent years—improving its statewide ranking from the 5th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 12th percentile in 2025-2026.

One of the most encouraging trends is in mathematics. Third-grade math proficiency has more than doubled over two years, climbing from 13.3% in 2023-2024 to 30% in 2025-2026. Fifth-grade science has also improved dramatically, rising from 7.1% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 26.6% in 2025-2026. Chronic absenteeism has been cut by more than half, dropping from 48.4% in 2022-2023 to 21.4% in 2025-2026—though it still exceeds district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1 and spends $24,541 per student, well above the state average and up 53% over three years. While these investments are substantial, nearby Main Street Charter Academy achieves stronger academic results with far less spending ($13,084 per student), and Resurgence Hall Charter School—just 1.5 miles away—posts exceptional math proficiency rates (73.5% in 3rd grade) with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 7.2%.

Compared to nearby Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary, College Park outperforms in 3rd grade math (30% vs. 13.9%) and 5th grade science (26.6% vs. 15.9%). However, significant gaps remain: the school still trails district averages by 30-40 percentage points in most subjects, and 5th grade math proficiency sits at just 14.8%, suggesting early-grade gains have not yet translated to upper elementary success. English Language Arts scores from the most recent release (2024-2025) showed proficiency rates of 23% (3rd grade), 11.1% (4th grade), and 15.9% (5th grade)—all well below district and state averages. The combination of reduced absenteeism, increased spending, smaller class sizes, and improving math scores suggests recent interventions may be taking hold, but sustaining this trajectory will be critical to closing persistent achievement gaps.
