Summary:
Zip code 30103 in Adairsville, Georgia, is served by a single elementary school, Adairsville Elementary School, which enrolls 868 students in grades PK through 5 within the Bartow County School District.
Adairsville Elementary presents a mixed academic profile. The school’s standout strength is 5th grade Science, where 49.3% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026—well above both the district (41.3%) and state (44.2%) averages. However, Mathematics is a significant concern, with all three grade levels falling below state averages this year. The declines are steep: 3rd grade dropped from 41.0% to 35.1% proficiency, 4th grade fell from 52.2% to 44.0%, and 5th grade plummeted from 51.4% to 37.3%—a 14.1-point swing that moved the school from well above to well below the state average. In the most recent English Language Arts (ELA) data from 2024-2025, the school outperformed both district and state averages at every grade level, suggesting a solid literacy foundation. These mixed results have contributed to a notable drop in the school’s state ranking, from the 64th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026.
Despite serving a predominantly low-income population—62.56% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch—the school boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.5%, less than half the district rate (15.8%) and state rate (17.7%). This indicates strong family engagement and a positive school culture. With per-student spending of $14,934 and a favorable 14.6:1 student-teacher ratio, the school has solid resources in place. The most urgent priority is addressing the significant math declines, while the school’s science success, strong attendance, and previously strong ELA performance provide a foundation to build upon.
