Summary

Radium Springs Elementary consistently performs significantly below the Dougherty County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 7.5% to 18.7%, compared to 21.1% to 27.8% for the county and 34.9% to 43% for the state. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 11.3% to 19.6%, compared to 24.2% to 31.3% for the county and 42.6% to 44.3% for the state. Radium Springs Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of elementary schools in Georgia over the past 10 years.

While Radium Springs Elementary struggles academically, the nearby schools in the same district also have similar low performance levels, with the exception of Lincoln Elementary Magnet School and Lamar Reese School of the Arts, which outperform the other schools in the area. The high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds at Radium Springs Elementary, as well as the overall low performance of the Dougherty County School District, suggest that factors such as socioeconomic status, resource availability, and district-level challenges may be contributing to the school's poor academic outcomes. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and personalized instruction to help improve student learning outcomes.
