Summary:
Zip code 30259 is home to just one school, Moreland Elementary School, a PK-5 school in Moreland, GA, serving 547 students within the highly regarded Coweta County district, which ranks in the top 17% of Georgia districts.
Moreland Elementary is a consistent 4-star school that has shown a strong upward trajectory, improving its state ranking from 351st to 297th over the past year. Its biggest academic strength is early-grade math: 3rd grade proficiency jumped an impressive 15.6 points to 64.1%, and 4th grade math sits at 66.0%—both well above district and state averages. However, performance drops sharply in 5th grade, where math proficiency falls to just 44.0%, and science scores declined 11.4 points to 49.4%, now trailing the district average. The school also excels in attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 12.7%—far better than the district’s 19.2% and the state’s 17.7%. With 40.77% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a moderate-poverty population yet still outperforms its affluent district in the lower grades, suggesting effective instructional practices worth replicating.
For parents, the key takeaway is that Moreland Elementary offers a strong foundation in the early grades, backed by excellent attendance and a favorable 13.3:1 student-teacher ratio with per-student spending of $15,672. The main concern is the upper-grade slump, particularly in 5th grade math and science, which may warrant attention as students transition to more complex content. Overall, this is a solid, well-resourced school with clear strengths and a few targeted areas for improvement.
