Summary:
Zip code 30241 in LaGrange, Georgia, is home to three elementary schools serving grades PK through 5 within the Troup County school district, a mid-tier district ranked 101st out of 201 in the state.
There is a dramatic performance gap among the three schools. Rosemont Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide with a 4-star rating. Its math proficiency rates are exceptional—73.7% in 3rd grade and 75.0% in 4th grade—far exceeding both district and state averages by 25 to 30 points. This success is particularly notable given that 72.5% of its students receive free or reduced lunch. In contrast, Clearview Elementary School ranks in the 6th percentile with a 0-star rating, and its 4th-grade math proficiency of just 9.9% is alarmingly low—roughly 34 points below the district average. Callaway Elementary School sits in the middle, ranking in the 30th percentile with a 2-star rating, though it has shown steady improvement over the past three years, climbing from the 23rd to the 30th percentile.
Chronic absenteeism appears to correlate with performance. Rosemont has the lowest rate at 12.9%, while Callaway has the highest at 22.4%—nearly 5 points above the state average. All three schools serve predominantly low-income populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 72.5% to 95.3%. Interestingly, per-student spending is similar across schools ($12,821 to $13,894), suggesting that how funds are used matters more than the amount. Science proficiency is a relative strength for all schools, with Clearview's 5th-grade science (23.1%) actually exceeding its math performance. For parents, Rosemont clearly offers the strongest academic outcomes, while Callaway shows promising momentum and Clearview may warrant closer investigation into its instructional practices.
