Summary

New Georgia Elementary School in Villa Rica, GA, serves 336 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Paulding County school district, and has earned a consistent 3-star rating in nine of the last ten years.

One of the school's standout strengths is early-grade math. In 3rd grade, 58.1% of students are proficient in math—about 10 points higher than the district and state averages. However, that advantage fades dramatically by 5th grade, where only 31.3% of students are proficient, a 26.8-point drop. This pattern has persisted for several years, suggesting a challenge in sustaining math growth as concepts become more complex. Science proficiency also lags, with just 31.4% of 5th graders meeting standards compared to 44.2% statewide. On a positive note, the school excels at keeping students in class: its chronic absenteeism rate was 13.2% in 2024-2025, well below the district's 18.8% and the state's 19.5%. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $17,638 per pupil and maintaining a favorable 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio.

Compared to nearby Union Elementary School, which sits just over five miles away and ranks in the 72nd percentile, New Georgia's overall ranking (53rd percentile) shows room for growth. Both schools serve similar percentages of students from economically diverse backgrounds, yet Union's 5th-grade math proficiency (50.9%) and science proficiency (45.5%) are notably higher. New Georgia does show a notable strength with African American students, who rank in the 72nd percentile statewide—a top-quarter performance. While the school's spending has increased 45% over four years, academic rankings have slightly declined, suggesting that a more targeted approach to upper-grade math and science instruction could help translate its strong early foundations and resources into more consistent success across all grade levels.
