Summary:
Zip code 30076 in Roswell, Georgia, is served by seven elementary schools—six traditional public schools within Fulton County and one state specialty charter school—together educating roughly 4,000 students across grades K-5 (with the charter extending through 8th grade).
This is a zip code of stark contrasts. At the top, River Eves Elementary School and Northwood Elementary School both hold 5-star ratings and rank in the 92nd–93rd percentile statewide, with average math proficiency around 75–77%. International Charter School of Atlanta is the highest-ranked overall (89th percentile) and uniquely shows math proficiency that *improves* from 3rd to 5th grade (64.7% to 75.9%), plus exceptional 8th-grade results. The middle tier—Hembree Springs Elementary School and Hillside Elementary School—both earn 4 stars with nearly identical average math scores (62%). At the lower end, Jackson Elementary School (3 stars, 52nd percentile) and Mimosa Elementary School (1 star, 26th percentile) struggle significantly, with Mimosa’s math proficiency averaging just 35.6%.
Several patterns stand out for parents. First, chronic absenteeism is remarkably low across all seven schools—even Mimosa’s 12.2% rate is well below the state’s 17.7%—so attendance isn’t driving the gaps. Second, there’s a clear grade-level slide at Jackson and Mimosa, where 3rd-grade math proficiency drops by 20–30 percentage points by 5th grade, while International Charter reverses this trend. Third, higher spending doesn’t guarantee results: Jackson ($23,134/student) and Mimosa ($21,064) spend the most yet perform worst, while River Eves and Northwood spend about $17,000 and excel. Finally, science proficiency is a differentiator—Northwood (74.3%) and River Eves (68.9%) far exceed the state average (44.2%), but Mimosa’s 18.8% is the lowest score in any subject across the zip code.
