Summary

Main Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 437 students in grades PK-6 in Rome, Georgia, which is part of the Rome City School District. Despite its relatively small student-teacher ratio, Main Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools over the past 5 years, with significant performance gaps compared to the Rome City and state averages.

On the Milestones Assessments, only 11.1% of 3rd graders at Main Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 19.6% for Rome City and 34.9% statewide. This stark underperformance is coupled with extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 96.66% to 98.63% over the past 3 years - much higher than other Rome City schools. While Main Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it also has lower per-student spending than its peers, potentially contributing to the challenges in effectively educating its high-needs student population.

The other Rome City elementary schools, while still below state averages, perform significantly better than Main Elementary on key metrics. This suggests there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed at the higher-performing schools within the district to address the unique challenges faced by Main Elementary.
