Locust Grove Elementary School

Locust Grove is one of those fast-growing towns south of Atlanta where subdivisions are popping up and young families are putting down roots, and Locust Grove Elementary reflects that transitional energy — a school working to find its footing as the community around it evolves. Families drawn to Henry County for its affordability and proximity to the city will find a school with a solid science program relative to its other subjects, though math scores suggest there's room to grow. It's a decent starting point for families willing to supplement at home or get involved, and the tight-knit feel of Locust Grove itself means there's genuine community spirit to tap into.
