Summary

Bascomb Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Woodstock, Georgia, serving 967 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Cherokee County School District, which is ranked 28th out of 206 districts in the state, Bascomb has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Georgia, ranking in the top 5-10% over the past decade.

Bascomb Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, with students consistently outperforming the Cherokee County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, Bascomb's 3rd-grade students scored 56.3% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.4% for the county and 34.9% for the state. In 5th-grade math, Bascomb students scored 70.3% proficient or better, compared to 59.4% for the county and 42.6% for the state. This consistent high performance has earned Bascomb a peak ranking of 43rd out of 1,234 Georgia elementary schools in 2018-2019.

While Bascomb's academic success is impressive, it's worth noting that the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 17.48% in 2023-2024. This is significantly lower than the nearby Pitner Elementary, Clark Creek Elementary, and other schools in the area, which range from 20-69% free/reduced lunch. This may suggest that Bascomb serves a more affluent population, raising questions about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the district.

The gifted program itself is fine for the one day a week the kids are in it. However, too many of the classroom teachers and counselors are not effective with gifted students. They are unwilling or unable to differentiate and counsel this population. Close Quote
