Summary

Lee Street Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jonesboro, Georgia, serving 534 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clayton County School District, which is ranked 173 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lee Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Lee Street Elementary School over the past decade, with a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below the Clayton County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments, with only 1.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 17.2% in the county and 34.9% statewide. The school also has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

While the nearby schools in the same district also struggle academically, with most ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Georgia elementary schools, Lee Street Elementary School consistently performs worse than its peers. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges or circumstances that contribute to its particularly poor academic performance, which would require further investigation to understand and address. Significant interventions and support, both academic and non-academic, are likely needed to improve student outcomes at the school.
