Summary

Honey Creek Elementary School in Conyers, GA, serves approximately 471 students in grades PK–5 within the Rockdale County school district, where 86.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Honey Creek is showing clear momentum. After a dip in state rankings during the early 2020s, the school has improved for two consecutive years and now ranks in the 41st percentile statewide—its best showing in six years. The most striking gains are in math and science. From 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, 3rd grade math proficiency jumped from 15.3% to 25.8%, and 5th grade science soared from 33.7% to 51.4%—now exceeding the state average by more than 7 points. In fact, Honey Creek's 5th grade science and math scores are the highest among all nearby Rockdale elementary schools, including Lorraine Elementary School and Flat Shoals Elementary School. The school also outperforms nearby Newton County schools like Oak Hill Elementary School in 5th grade science. Notably, Honey Creek's African American students rank in the 60th percentile statewide—a strong bright spot. The school invests heavily in its students, spending about $18,078 per pupil and maintaining a favorable 11.9:1 student-teacher ratio, lower than Shoal Creek Elementary School (15.4:1) or Peek's Chapel Elementary (15.9:1).

There are still areas to watch. Chronic absenteeism has risen to 29.9%, though that's actually better than the district average of 28.6% and reflects the challenges of a high-poverty population. Also, 3rd grade scores still lag behind 5th grade—a 12-point gap in math—suggesting students may make significant progress as they move through the school. Overall, Honey Creek is a school on an upward trajectory, delivering results that stand out within its district and offering a model for how targeted resources and smaller classes can drive improvement.

The bullying is horrible, I keep asking the teacher and the principal for help with controlling the other children from bullying my child, but nothing has happened. My child cry’s every time she comes home or when it’s time to go to school. I have no other choice to pull my child out of that school. Close Quote

My daughter just recently completed Kindergarten. I feel that the school had a lot of events in which parent involvement was encouraged. The teachers were attentive and always communicating with me. I would surely recommend the school so far. Close Quote
