Summary
Northside Elementary School in Warner Robins, GA, serves approximately 564 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Houston County school district, and it currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking in the 32nd percentile statewide.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that Northside invests heavily in its students—spending about $15,901 per child, which is higher than most nearby schools—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1. However, academic results in math and science have consistently trailed district and state averages. For example, in the most recent testing cycle, only 27.4% of 5th graders met proficiency in math, compared to 48.5% district-wide, and 5th grade science proficiency was 28.8% versus 48.5% for the district. There is one notable bright spot: 4th grade math jumped to 44.2% proficiency, a 23-point improvement over the prior year, though scores in that grade have swung widely in recent years, suggesting cohort-to-cohort variability rather than a stable trend. It's also worth noting that ELA scores for the current year are not yet available, so no conclusions should be drawn about that subject.
Compared to neighbors, Northside's performance is mixed. Schools like Quail Run Elementary and Eagle Springs Elementary spend roughly $2,000–$2,700 less per student yet achieve dramatically higher proficiency rates—Quail Run, for instance, posts 67.4% in 5th grade math. Meanwhile, Westside Elementary and Miller Elementary perform at or below Northside's level. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved significantly, dropping from 20.9% to 15.2% over four years, now better than both district and state averages. This progress on attendance, combined with strong per-student investment, suggests the school has a solid foundation—but the challenge remains translating those resources into more consistent academic gains across all grade levels.
