Summary:
ZIP code 74429 has seven elementary, intermediate, junior high and high schools, serving 3,378 students altogether. Group averages are close to state results: about 27% in ELA versus 26% statewide, 26% in math versus 25%, and 30% in science, matching the state. But results vary widely from school to school—especially in math, where scores span 7% to 52%. The most important finding is that the area’s near-state averages hide substantial differences between schools.
Northwest Elementary School leads in math at 52%, 27 points above the state; Southside Elementary School is at the bottom with 7%, 18 points below the state. The gap also shows up in 3rd-grade math: Northwest scores 52%, compared with 32% at Central Elementary School and 7% at Southside. Heritage Intermediate Grd Center leads reported science results at 44%, 14 points above the state. Coweta High School leads ELA at 38%, 12 points above the state, and its 94% graduation rate in 2024–2025 is 17 points above the state.
Group results have slipped over time: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, average ELA fell about 1 point, math fell 2 points, and science fell 4 points among the same schools. Individual schools moved differently: Northwest rose 13 points in ELA and 14 in math, while Southside fell 14 and 17 points, respectively. The intermediate schools offer a closer comparison: Heritage and Mission Intermediate Grd Center have similar enrollment and student-teacher ratios (15.6 and 15.7), yet Heritage scores higher in ELA, math and science. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 53% at Heritage and 50% at Mission; these are observations, not explanations for results. All-grades results cover different grade spans, so grade-specific comparisons are more useful where available.
