Summary

Elm Street Elementary in Rome, GA, serves about 558 students in Pre-K through 6th grade and is part of the Rome City school district. This school has become a true success story, transforming from a decade of low rankings into a 4-star school that now outperforms many nearby schools with more resources.

The most impressive gains are in math. In 2025-2026, Elm Street's 4th and 5th grade math proficiency rates (60.9% and 59.4%) were dramatically higher than the district averages (46.9% and 42.2%), and 6th grade math also beat the district by 13.5 percentage points. Science scores are strong too, with 5th grade proficiency (52.2%) exceeding both district and state averages. The school also shines in attendance: only 2.0% of students were chronically absent in 2025-2026, compared to 13.8% for the district and 17.7% statewide—a remarkable drop from 10.9% just three years earlier. This improvement in attendance closely tracks the school's academic turnaround. Elm Street also achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,366) than nearby Anna K. Davie Elementary ($18,413) and Main Elementary ($17,018), both of which rank far lower. Compared to East Central Elementary, a similarly high-performing school, Elm Street actually posts higher 4th and 5th grade math scores, despite having a higher student-teacher ratio and lower spending.

Elm Street serves a student body where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet it outperforms many schools with lower poverty rates, including Garden Lakes Elementary in 4th grade math. The school is especially effective with Hispanic and African American students, ranking in the 85th and 80th percentiles statewide for those groups. While English Language Arts scores remain below state averages, they are improving steadily. For parents, Elm Street represents a school that has used smart strategies—especially around attendance—to achieve remarkable results for all its students.
