Summary:
Zip code 30277 in Sharpsburg, Georgia, is home to 7 schools within the Coweta County School District, serving approximately 6,935 students across four elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school.
This is a high-performing cluster of schools, with several standouts. Canongate Elementary School and Thomas Crossroads Elementary School both rank in the top 8% of Georgia elementary schools, with exceptional math and science scores—Thomas Crossroads posts an 83.6% science proficiency rate, nearly 40 points above the state average. At the middle school level, Blake Bass Middle School is the star of the entire zip code, ranking 15th out of 578 middle schools statewide (top 3%) and dramatically outperforming Lee Middle School in math by as much as 23.6 percentage points, despite similar demographics and spending. Willis Road Elementary performs solidly above state averages, while Poplar Road Elementary School showed the most improvement, jumping 236 spots in the rankings, though it still trails its peers and serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students in the area.
The main concern is East Coweta High School, which has a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.2%—nearly double the district average and more than double the rate at any other school in the zip code. Despite this, the school maintains a strong 92.7% graduation rate and outperforms the state in US History, though its Algebra I proficiency (42.6%) falls below the state average. Notably, every elementary and middle school in the area has chronic absenteeism below the state average, and all elementary test scores exceed state averages except for one 5th grade science score. Science is a clear differentiator across the zip code, with massive advantages over state averages at both the elementary and middle school levels. Families here have excellent options, particularly at the elementary level, though the high school's attendance issues and the gap between the two middle schools are worth investigating.
