Flat Shoals Elementary consistently underperforms the Rockdale County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18.3% of 3rd graders, 22.6% of 4th graders, and 37.8% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 34.9%, 39.3%, and 43% statewide.

When comparing Flat Shoals Elementary to the other elementary schools in the Rockdale County district, as well as a few in the neighboring Newton County district, Flat Shoals consistently underperforms on test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. The nearby schools, while still struggling, generally have higher proficiency rates than Flat Shoals. Despite having relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes, Flat Shoals' ranking and performance on the Milestones Assessments has remained stagnant or declined over the past 10 years, suggesting deeper systemic issues that need to be addressed.
