Summary

West End Elementary School in Rome, GA, serves about 1,005 students in grades PK-6 and is the largest elementary school in its immediate area, nearly doubling the enrollment of most nearby schools. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 69th percentile statewide, a significant climb from the 57th percentile just a few years ago—a gain of 152 positions. This improvement is especially notable because the school now serves a student population where 100% qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 65% in 2022-2023, meaning West End is achieving better outcomes while supporting more families in economic need.

Academically, West End stands out within the Rome City district. In math, the school beat the district average at every grade level, with 3rd graders hitting 60.7% proficiency—well above the state average of 48.3% and nearly double the rate at Main Elementary School (17.5%). Fifth-grade science is another strength, with 55.9% proficiency versus 44.2% statewide. The school also earns 4-star ratings for its African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the high 70th percentiles statewide, and performs well for English Language Learners. Perhaps most striking is the school’s chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.6%—less than one-third of the district rate (13.8%) and state rate (17.7%)—a pattern that has held for five straight years.

West End also stands out for its efficiency. It spends $12,360 per student, far less than peers like Anna K. Davie Elementary ($18,413) or Main Elementary ($17,018), yet it outperforms both by a wide margin. Compared to nearby Floyd County schools, West End ranks above Alto Park Elementary School (53rd percentile) but trails Garden Lakes Elementary School (84th percentile)—though West End serves a higher-poverty population. While math proficiency dips as grade levels rise (from 60.7% in 3rd grade to 39.5% in 6th), the school’s consistent attendance, strong early instruction, and equitable results across student groups make it a standout choice for families.
