Summary

Timothy Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 595 students in grades PK-5 in Athens, Georgia, which is part of the Clarke County School District. The school has consistently outperformed the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 53.3% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 28.2% for Clarke County and 43% for Georgia. Timothy Elementary also has a lower student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than the state average.

While Timothy Elementary's academic performance is strong, there are a few nearby schools, such as Johnnie Lay Burks Elementary, that also demonstrate high achievement. Additionally, the school's socioeconomic makeup has fluctuated, with the percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients ranging from 45.71% to 82.84% over the past few years. This suggests that Timothy Elementary serves a diverse population, which may impact its academic performance.

Timothy Elementary's statewide ranking has also varied over the past 10 years, ranging from 264th out of 1,240 schools in 2014-2015 to 585th out of 1,214 schools in 2020-2021. This indicates that the school's performance relative to other Georgia elementary schools has been somewhat inconsistent. Continued focus on supporting all students, regardless of their background, will be crucial for Timothy Elementary to maintain its high level of academic achievement.

I think that Timothy Road Elementary is a very good school. They make the children feel welcome. I started with my daughter in Kindergarten and they immediately realized that she was a little advance and put her in a spectrum class to challenge her. I think they could use a little more programs for the kids, but they are doing the best they can to bring more things in that is extra curricular for the children. I went to school up north. And the experience down here I see is a lot different. But in terms of taking care of your children and having a caring staff. Timothy is definitely that school. Close Quote
