Summary

Wolf Creek Elementary in College Park, GA, is a PK-5 school in the Fulton County district serving 712 students, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.8.

Wolf Creek’s recent performance tells a story of both standout strengths and areas needing attention. The school’s statewide ranking jumped from the 41st percentile in 2020-2021 to the 71st percentile in 2024-2025, but then dropped to the 47th percentile in the most recent year—a steeper decline than seen at nearby schools like Liberty Point Elementary or Stonewall Tell Elementary, which saw only minor fluctuations. The most striking highlight is 4th-grade math: 60.3% proficiency, nearly matching the district average (64%) and far outpacing the state (50.1%), as well as nearby schools like Feldwood Elementary (30.4%) and Gullatt Elementary (27.2%). However, this strength doesn’t carry into other grades—3rd-grade math (31.3%) and 5th-grade math (34.6%) both fall well below district and state averages, creating a “V-shaped” pattern unique to this school. The school also ranks in the 75th percentile statewide for the growth and performance of its African American students, a notable strength.

Chronic absenteeism (17.7%) is on par with the state average but higher than peers like Lee Elementary (9.9%) and Renaissance Elementary (10.9%). Interestingly, Wolf Creek outperforms Deerwood Academy in most subjects despite Deerwood spending over $10,000 more per student ($27,559 vs. $17,685). The data also hints at a cohort effect: the current 4th graders have posted strong math scores for two consecutive years, while the current 5th graders have consistently struggled since 3rd grade—suggesting that gains in earlier grades may not always be sustained as students move up.
