Summary:
The city of Broxton, Georgia has only one elementary school, Broxton-Mary Hayes Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been consistently below average, ranking between 563 and 660 out of 1,238 to 1,248 Georgia elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a 2-3 star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Broxton-Mary Hayes Elementary struggles academically, with proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones Assessment that are generally below the state and Coffee County averages across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also has a high percentage of students, 85.66% in the 2023-2024 school year, receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's relatively low academic performance, its per-student spending of $9,675 in 2018-2019 is not significantly lower than the state average, raising questions about how the school's resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning and achievement. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.3 in the 2023-2024 school year suggests that class sizes may not be a significant factor in the school's underperformance.
