Summary:

Zip code 30170 (Roopville, GA) is home to two elementary schools serving grades PK-5, with a combined enrollment of 637 students and no middle or high schools in the area.

Roopville Elementary School stands out as the higher-performing school in the area, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 81st percentile statewide. It serves 457 students and posts proficiency rates well above state averages in every tested subject—for example, 5th-grade math proficiency is 65.1% compared to the state's 44.1%, and 5th-grade science reaches 63.4% versus the state's 44.2%. The school also excels in attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.9%, far better than the state average of 17.7%. In contrast, Ephesus Elementary School serves 180 students and holds a 3-star rating (55th percentile). While Ephesus actually outperforms Roopville in 3rd-grade math (61.9% vs. 56.9%), its scores decline sharply by 5th grade, where only 33.3% of students are proficient in math—a 32-point gap compared to Roopville. Ephesus also faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of its students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7% is 53% higher than Roopville's.

These schools belong to different districts: Carroll County (Roopville) and Heard County (Ephesus). Interestingly, Heard County ranks higher statewide (87th percentile) than Carroll County (69th percentile), yet Roopville outperforms its district while Ephesus generally underperforms its district—suggesting school-level factors play a key role. Ephesus compensates for its high-needs population with smaller class sizes (10.6:1 vs. 15.7:1) and higher per-student spending ($15,317 vs. $13,465), but these resources have not fully closed the achievement gap. For parents, Roopville offers consistently strong academics and better attendance, while Ephesus provides a more intimate setting with targeted support for economically disadvantaged students, though families should be aware of the widening performance gap in upper elementary grades.
