Summary:
Zip code 30178 (Taylorsville, Georgia) is home to just one elementary school, Taylorsville Elementary School, which serves grades PK through 5 and is part of the Bartow County School District.
Taylorsville Elementary School shows a clear strength in early-grade math. In 2025-2026, 3rd-grade math proficiency reached 61.8%, outpacing both the district (47.9%) and state (48.3%) by roughly 14 percentage points. However, math performance declines sharply as students advance: 4th grade drops to 44.8% and 5th grade to 40.0%, both below state averages. The school's biggest challenge is 5th-grade science, where only 28.0% of students are proficient—16 points below the state average. The most recent ELA data (2024-2025) shows the school trailing the state in all grades, with 3rd-grade ELA particularly weak at 24.2% proficiency versus 34.9% statewide. The school's overall ranking rebounded from a 44th percentile dip in 2024-2025 to the 54th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, matching its 2023-2024 performance.
Despite serving a student population where 60.93% qualify for free/reduced lunch, the school maintains a strong attendance record with an 11.3% chronic absenteeism rate—well below the district (15.8%) and state (17.7%). The school also benefits from favorable resources: a 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio and $16,503 per-student spending. The most notable year-over-year gain came in 3rd-grade math, which jumped 14.8 points from 47.0% to 61.8%. For parents, this school offers strong early math instruction and consistent attendance, but families should be aware of the significant gaps in science and upper-grade math, as well as the lagging ELA scores. The upcoming December release of current-year ELA results will be important to watch for any changes in those trends.
