Summary

Antioch Elementary School in Dalton, GA, serves 446 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of Whitfield County Schools, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Antioch has several notable strengths. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 12.1% is better than the state average of 17.7% and has improved dramatically from 19.2% three years ago—a significant achievement for a school serving a high-poverty population. In 4th grade math, 48.1% of students scored proficient, beating the district average of 45.7% and nearly matching the state average of 50.1%. This represents a strong recovery from just 30.8% proficiency two years earlier. The school also performs competitively against nearby schools with similar demographics, outpacing Valley Point Elementary School and Eastside Elementary School in several grade-level subjects. Antioch's Hispanic students rank in the 50th percentile statewide, earning a 3-star rating—the school's strongest subgroup performance.

However, challenges remain. Fifth grade performance lags significantly, with only 35.4% proficient in math and 24.6% in science, compared to state averages of 44.1% and 44.2%. This pattern is common across nearby schools, though Dug Gap Elementary School—which serves a similarly high-poverty population—maintains much stronger 5th grade results, likely tied to its lower absenteeism rate of 7.1%. Antioch's overall state ranking (39th percentile) trails Dug Gap (75th percentile) and Brookwood Elementary School (77th percentile), though those schools serve less disadvantaged populations. Per-student spending has risen 26% over four years to $16,374, yet outcomes have remained relatively flat. With a favorable 11.1:1 student-teacher ratio and improving attendance, Antioch has a solid foundation to build on, particularly in early elementary grades.
