Summary

Unity Grove Elementary School in Locust Grove, GA, serves approximately 882 students in grades PK-5 as part of Henry County Schools, and it has maintained a steady middle-of-the-pack ranking statewide over the past decade.

One of the school's standout strengths is its upper-grade math and science performance. In the most recent school year, 5th graders scored 38.9% proficient in math—a full 9.1 percentage points above the district average—and 36.9% in science, also beating the district. This pattern held the prior year, suggesting a consistent focus on STEM in the upper grades. Fourth grade math also showed a strong jump two years ago, climbing to 50.4% proficiency, though it has since settled back to match the district average. Compared to nearby schools, Unity Grove ranks in the upper half of its geographic cluster, ahead of Walnut Creek Elementary, Luella Elementary School, Wesley Lakes Elementary School, Bethlehem Elementary School, Tussahaw Elementary, and Locust Grove Elementary School, while trailing Rock Spring Elementary, Ola Elementary School, and New Hope Elementary. Notably, Unity Grove achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,826) than most of its peers, suggesting efficient use of resources.

The school has also made meaningful progress on attendance, cutting its chronic absenteeism rate from 26% to about 20% over the past two years—though that still means one in five students misses too much school, and it remains above the state average. Areas needing attention include support for special education students, who rank in the 7th percentile statewide, and for White students, who underperform relative to the school's overall average. With a stable ranking over the years, Unity Grove offers a predictable, mid-tier option for families, with clear strengths in upper-grade STEM and room to grow in attendance and subgroup support.
