Summary:
Zip code 30145 in Bartow County, Georgia, is served by two elementary schools—Euharlee Elementary School and Kingston Elementary School—both covering grades PK-5 within the Bartow County school district, which ranks in the 64th percentile statewide.
Euharlee Elementary is the clear standout in this area, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 63rd percentile statewide, while Kingston Elementary holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 34th percentile. The performance gap is striking: in 3rd grade math, Euharlee posts 67% proficiency versus Kingston’s 41.1%, a 25.9-point difference, and in 4th grade math the gap widens to 21.4 points (49% vs. 27.6%). Euharlee also excels in 3rd grade math, beating the state average by 19.1 points, though its upper-grade math and science scores dip closer to state levels. Kingston struggles most in science, with 5th grade proficiency at just 16.9% in the most recent full data year—26.9 points below the state—and remains below state averages in nearly every subject and grade. Notably, Kingston spends $2,089 more per student ($18,561 vs. $16,472) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (11.3:1 vs. 13.8:1), yet still underperforms, suggesting that higher poverty rates (72.94% free/reduced lunch vs. 61.67% at Euharlee) may be a stronger factor than resources alone.
Both schools show positive momentum in 3rd grade math, improving by 10.3 points at Euharlee and 13.7 points at Kingston year-over-year, though upper-grade scores tend to decline, indicating early interventions may not be fully sustained. Chronic absenteeism is below the state average of 17.7% at both schools (13.5% at Euharlee, 14.9% at Kingston), and Euharlee’s 5th grade ELA proficiency of 47.7% in 2024-2025 was a bright spot, exceeding the state by 4.7 points. For parents, Euharlee offers consistently stronger academics, particularly in early math, while Kingston faces significant challenges, especially in science, despite additional per-student funding.
