Schools in Zip Code 30265

Zip code 30265 in Newnan, Georgia, is home to 7 schools—5 elementary schools (including one K-8 charter), 1 middle school, and 1 high school—serving approximately 6,272 students, with most schools belonging to the Coweta County district (83rd percentile statewide) and Odyssey Charter School operating under the State Specialty Schools I district.

Arbor Springs Elementary is the clear standout, ranking in the 96th percentile of Georgia elementary schools (5 stars) with exceptional test scores—5th grade science proficiency of 86% and 4th grade math at 82.2%, both roughly double state averages—while maintaining the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the zip code at 7.2%. This performance is especially notable given its free/reduced lunch rate of 39.75%, which is higher than some lower-performing peers. At the secondary level, Northgate High School ranks in the 86th percentile with a 93.9% graduation rate and a 1.1% dropout rate, plus standout US History proficiency of 65% versus the state's 38.5%. However, Northgate also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the area at 27.7%, well above the district's 19.2%—an unusual disconnect between attendance and strong academics.

Other schools show more mixed results. Welch Elementary dropped sharply from the 63rd to 48th percentile in one year, with math scores 15-19 points below district averages. Arnall Middle School consistently underperforms district averages across all subjects, with 6th grade math at just 33.8%—a dramatic drop from the 82% 5th grade proficiency at Arbor Springs, suggesting a challenging transition. Odyssey Charter School spends the most per student ($21,937) yet ranks in the 32nd percentile with 5th grade math and science both at 17.6%, though it shows pockets of strength in 7th grade math (57.9%). Newnan Crossing Elementary and White Oak Elementary fall in the middle range, with White Oak's 3rd grade math at 71.3% but declining to 48.2% by 5th grade. Chronic absenteeism exceeds the state average (17.7%) at all schools except Arbor Springs and Odyssey, making attendance a key area for improvement across the zip code.
