Summary:

ZIP code 30188 in Woodstock, Georgia, is home to 7 schools within the Cherokee County School District, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of approximately 7,477 students.

This is a high-performing educational community where every school ranks at or above the 71st percentile statewide. Mountain Road Elementary School leads the pack at the 89th percentile, achieving top results with the lowest poverty rate (23% free/reduced lunch), the lowest chronic absenteeism (4%), and the most favorable student-teacher ratio (12.7:1) in the area. Arnold Mill Elementary School follows closely at the 87th percentile. At the secondary level, River Ridge High School is the standout, ranking in the 93rd percentile with a 95.7% graduation rate and a 0.8% dropout rate—both dramatically better than state averages. Mill Creek Middle School shows remarkable advanced math performance, with 100% of its Algebra I students scoring proficient, and it has shown the most improvement of any school in the ZIP code over the past three years.

Notable contrasts exist within the group. Johnston Elementary School faces the highest poverty rate (44%) and least favorable student-teacher ratio (16.9:1), yet still achieves a respectable 76th percentile ranking with strong 4th-grade math scores. Woodstock Elementary School is the outlier, consistently underperforming district averages, though its 3rd-grade math proficiency jumped 12.4 points in one year. Little River Elementary School performs solidly in the mid-range. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low across all seven schools—ranging from 4% to 12% versus the 17.7% state average—and spending per student varies from $11,814 at Mill Creek to $16,569 at Mountain Road, with higher spending not always correlating with better outcomes. The strongest performers form a cohesive feeder pattern: Mountain Road and Arnold Mill elementaries feed into Mill Creek Middle, which feeds into River Ridge High, creating a reliable pipeline of academic excellence for families in this area.
