Summary

Pate's Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Stockbridge, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 504 students. The school is part of the Henry County School District, which is ranked 143 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pate's Creek Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from a high of 362 out of 1,240 Georgia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a ranking of 898 out of 1,238 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. Its academic performance consistently underperforms the Henry County and Georgia state averages in proficiency rates for the Milestones Assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates were 25.3% in ELA, 14% in Math, and 26.4% in Science, compared to the state averages of 43%, 42.6%, and 43.8%, respectively.

This high rate of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the school's academic challenges. When compared to nearby schools, such as Mount Carmel Elementary School and Dutchtown Elementary School, Pate's Creek consistently underperforms in Milestones Assessment proficiency rates, suggesting opportunities for the school to learn from the instructional practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools in the district.

I feel so lucky to be in this school district! Great principals, great teachers, great staff! Such a wonderful atmosphere ALL THE TIME! My girls attend Pate's Creek and my youngest has learning difficulties. The administration has been so proactive in addressing her issues and I am so thankful for all of them! Close Quote

Absolutely pleased with the education and environment for our Kindergartener!! The reputation and scores (tops in the County) of the school brought us to Pate's Creek and the experience is keeping us here. The combination of quality education, love and discipline is very evident in our daughter and in our school visits and involvement. Her love of learning and performing well are amplified as she rises to the challenges presented by her teacher and para-pro. Hats off to the whole Pate's Creek Team!! And to Ms. L. Johnson and Mrs. Wasmundt in particular! Close Quote

The teachers are not great! Seem like they care about a check instead of the education of the students. Teachers come off as nice, caring individuals, but I know plenty parents that complain about their child's education. I would suggest exploring other schools before choosing Pates Creek! Close Quote
