Summary

Sunset Elementary School is a public elementary school in Moultrie, Georgia, serving 594 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Colquitt County School District, which is ranked 101 out of 206 districts in the state.

Sunset Elementary has shown consistent academic improvement, rising from the 894th to the 442nd highest-ranked elementary school in Georgia over the past decade. The school's mathematics proficiency rates exceed the Colquitt County and state averages, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13 to 13.9 students per teacher. However, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with 78.28% to 96.83% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need among the student population.

While Sunset Elementary outperforms the district and state in many areas, it does not rank as highly as some nearby schools, such as Wright Elementary and Hamilton Elementary, which consistently achieve stronger academic results, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Continued investment and targeted interventions could help Sunset Elementary School further improve its academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education for its students.
