Summary

Peek's Chapel Elementary in Conyers, GA, serves approximately 591 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Rockdale County school district. The school has faced significant challenges over the past decade, with its statewide ranking declining from the 45th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 15th percentile today. One of the most notable trends is the rapid increase in economic need—100% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 85% just two years ago. This shift coincides with a drop in the school's overall ranking, though the school still outperforms nearby Newton County elementary schools, which rank between the 2nd and 9th percentiles statewide.

The most concerning academic pattern is in 5th grade math, where only 13.8% of students scored proficient—roughly half the district rate (24.5%) and less than a third of the state rate (44.1%). This represents a sharp decline from the previous year's 25.3% proficiency and stands in stark contrast to the school's own 3rd grade math performance (29.3% proficient), which actually exceeds the district average. Nearby Honey Creek Elementary, just 2.38 miles away, achieved 37.9% proficiency in 5th grade math—nearly three times Peek's Chapel rate. Chronic absenteeism is also a persistent issue at 28.8%, well above the state average of 17.7%, though this is a challenge shared across Rockdale County schools. Special education students at Peek's Chapel rank at the 9th percentile statewide, representing the school's lowest-performing subgroup.

There are some bright spots worth noting. The school's 5th grade science performance (27.5% proficient) is close to the district average, and in 2023-2024, it actually exceeded both district and state averages in that subject. The school also spends above the state average at $15,212 per student, though this investment hasn't yet translated into broader academic gains. For parents considering this school, the relative strengths in early elementary math and science suggest areas of instructional effectiveness that could be expanded, but the erosion of math proficiency between 3rd and 5th grade points to challenges that will require sustained support and intervention.
