Best Elementary Schools in Winder, GA

The city of Winder, Georgia is home to 6 elementary schools that are part of the Barrow County school district, which is ranked 103 out of 206 school districts in the state. While the district as a whole has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the elementary schools in Winder exhibit a wide range of academic performance.

Two schools stand out as top performers: Holsenbeck Elementary School and County Line Elementary School. Both schools consistently rank in the top half of Georgia elementary schools and outperform the Barrow County and state averages on the Georgia Milestones Assessments, particularly in mathematics. County Line Elementary also has the highest spending per student at $10,751, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

In contrast, other schools in Winder, such as Winder Elementary School, struggle to match the Barrow County and Georgia averages on the Milestones Assessments, especially in English Language Arts. The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 64.46% to 76.95% across the schools, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which can impact academic performance. However, the schools generally maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11.8 to 14 students per teacher, which may help support student learning.
