Summary:
ZIP code 30005 in Alpharetta, Georgia, is home to four schools within the Fulton County district—two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school—serving roughly 4,689 students in a predominantly affluent area with low poverty rates.
This is an exceptionally high-performing cluster, with all four schools earning 5-star ratings and ranking in the top 10% statewide. Webb Bridge Middle School is the standout, ranking #2 out of 578 Georgia middle schools with a perfect 100% proficiency in Algebra I and 98.3% in Physical Science. Creek View Elementary School ranks #6 out of 1,219 elementary schools, posting 92.8% 5th grade math proficiency and an extraordinary 2.1% chronic absenteeism rate. Lake Windward Elementary School is also elite at #14 statewide, with math proficiency between 89.5% and 92.9%. Alpharetta High School, while still a 5-star school in the 91st percentile, is the relative weak link—its Algebra I proficiency of 54.5% falls below the district average of 60.6%, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3% is nearly triple Webb Bridge's 6.0%.
The feeder pattern is clear: elementary students arrive at Webb Bridge exceptionally well-prepared, and the middle school maintains that excellence. However, the high school does not sustain the same relative standing, likely due to serving a broader geographic area and a more diverse student body. Notably, per-student spending does not correlate with performance—Lake Windward spends the most ($17,974) yet ranks below Creek View ($15,919). Chronic absenteeism also rises sharply with age, from 2.1% at Creek View to 17.3% at Alpharetta High. For parents, this ZIP code offers a remarkable K-8 experience with near-elite academics, while the high school, though strong, presents a transition worth monitoring.
