Summary:
The 30620 zip code in Georgia has only one public elementary school, Bethlehem Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 660 students. The school is part of the Barrow County School District, which is ranked 103 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Bethlehem Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, its academic performance as measured by state assessment scores is generally below the Barrow County and Georgia averages, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 29.5%, compared to 27% for Barrow County and 34.9% for the state. However, the school's 5th grade math proficiency rate of 51.2% was higher than the Barrow County average of 37%, but still below the state average of 42.6%.
The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $8,974, and 68.03% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors suggest that Bethlehem Elementary School may face challenges in allocating resources and support to meet the needs of its economically disadvantaged students, which could be contributing to its underperformance on state assessments.
