Schools in Zip Code 30263

Zip code 30263 in Newnan, Georgia, is served by 12 schools within the Coweta County School District, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, enrolling roughly 7,551 students.

There is a stark performance divide within this single zip code. Brooks Elementary is the standout, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide with a 5-star rating and math proficiency rates (78-87%) that are 30-40 points above state averages. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (8.3%) and the second-lowest poverty rate (28% free/reduced lunch). Madras Middle School is the top middle school, ranking in the 92nd percentile with consistent year-over-year improvement. At the other end, Jefferson Parkway Elementary ranks in just the 19th percentile with a 1-star rating, and its math proficiency (21-29%) is roughly half the state average. Smokey Road Middle School also struggles, ranking in the 35th percentile with 6th grade math proficiency at just 16.9%. Notably, higher per-student spending does not correlate with better outcomes—Ruth Hill Elementary spends the most ($19,241 per student) yet ranks in only the 61st percentile, while Brooks achieves top results with the second-lowest spending.

Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide concern, with Newnan High School posting a 24.9% rate, well above the state average of 17.7%. The high school shows mixed results: US History proficiency (56%) far exceeds the state (38.5%), but Algebra I (39%) lags behind (48.1% state). Northside Elementary (85th percentile) and Elm Street Elementary (86th percentile) are solid mid-to-upper performers, with Elm Street showing a remarkable 22.6-point jump in 3rd grade math. A clear "middle school dip" is evident, as 6th grade math proficiency drops district-wide compared to 5th grade, and the achievement gap closely tracks poverty levels—the lowest-performing schools all have free/reduced lunch rates above 64%.
