Johnson Elementary

Johnson Elementary serves 478 students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade in Rome, Georgia, operating as a regular public school with a student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1. That ratio keeps classrooms tight and instruction personal — a meaningful structural advantage at the elementary level. The school earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10, rated Exceptional, with academic performance scoring 9.9 and growth at 9.4.

Those numbers are not just strong in isolation — they hold up against every peer in the state. Johnson ranks 15th among 1,301 elementary schools in Georgia, placing it in the top 1% statewide. Within Rome, it sits first among all 18 schools in the city, and 18th out of 2,268 public schools across Georgia regardless of level.

Academic scores and growth scores this close together signal something specific: students are not just arriving with advantages — they are learning at an accelerated rate relative to where they start. That combination of high attainment and strong growth is less common than either metric alone. For families evaluating elementary options in Floyd County, Johnson's statewide percentile ranking makes the comparison straightforward.

Few schools in Georgia produce results at this level consistently across both dimensions.

Located in a rural area, Johnson Elementary may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
