Welch Elementary School is a public prekindergarten through fifth-grade elementary school located at 240 Mary Freeman Road in Newnan, Georgia. The school is part of the Coweta County Public Schools system and as a Title I school, receives federal funding for school improvement. It’s named in honor of former Coweta County Public Schools superintendent Bobby Welch.
The Coweta County Public Schools system utilizes the Georgia Standards of excellence. These standards are comprised of frameworks that guide teachers and students in the areas of English language arts, fine arts, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, world languages, computer science and health education.
Welch Elementary School believes that organized learning should be offered over the summer as well. That’s why they provide a variety of summer activities for student participation, also known as engagements. The reading engagements include Summer Literacy Strategies, Summer Reading Lists, 10 Weeks of Reading and Growing Book-By-Book. Math engagements include 16 Math Activities and Summer Math Links, among others. Parents and caregivers can participate in the school’s Summer Resources for Parents and 50 Fun Summer Activities.
The school also offers an innovative science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) garden. The garden gives students the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities while focusing on their critical thinking skills and preparing them for a technology-focused workforce.

We live close to the school, it's in our district. It is NOT balanced. We have 2 kids in this school and are highly disappointed in their discipline program. The kids have more than 1 teacher, very different than what we are used to. When the students have issues between themselves, it doesn't trans...

Very Interesting to see the reviews. Our child went to Welch from K-5. She did very well and was given the time she needed to progress and excel. She participated in almost every school function and had a wonderful time at Welch. From her perspective, she had really good teachers. From our perspecti...

Welch Elementary has taken a 180 in leadership over last 4 years.

Poor. It is too political and needs to focus more on the children and their education. Furthermore, teachers are disappointing and seemd to be poorly educated themselves.
