Summary:

ZIP code 30157 in Dallas, Georgia is home to three elementary schools—Nebo Elementary School, Allgood Elementary School, and C. A. Roberts Elementary School—all serving grades PK-5 within the Paulding County School District, which collectively educate about 2,353 students.

C. A. Roberts Elementary School is the clear standout in this area, ranking highest in the state (584th, 52nd percentile) and outperforming both district and state averages in most subjects. It posts the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (12.0%) and, despite serving a majority low-income population (54.49% free/reduced lunch), achieves strong results—like 52.6% proficiency in 4th grade math, well above the state average. In contrast, Allgood Elementary School faces the most significant challenges: it ranks lowest (880th, 28th percentile), has the highest poverty rate (72.26%), the highest chronic absenteeism (19.1%), and trails district and state averages by wide margins—for example, only 25.9% of 4th graders are proficient in math versus 50.1% statewide. Nebo Elementary School sits in the middle, ranking 720th (41st percentile) with performance near district averages, though it shows a notable strength in 3rd grade math (49.2% proficiency, slightly above the state).

One striking finding is that spending per student does not predict success: C. A. Roberts spends the most ($15,399) and performs best, while Allgood spends nearly as much ($15,016) yet produces the weakest outcomes. Similarly, Allgood has the most favorable student-teacher ratio (12.8:1) but still lags academically. All three schools experience a significant drop in math proficiency from 3rd to 5th grade, mirroring district trends but steeper at Nebo and C. A. Roberts. Interestingly, Allgood posts the highest 5th grade science proficiency (35.1%) among the three, nearly matching the district average. Chronic absenteeism clearly tracks with performance, suggesting that improving attendance—especially at Allgood—could be a powerful lever for academic improvement across this ZIP code.
