Summary

East Fannin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 469 students in grades PK-5 in Morganton, Georgia, which is part of the Fannin County School District. While the district is ranked 76 out of 206 in the state and has a 3-star rating, East Fannin Elementary's performance has been a concern, with its test scores generally lower than the county and state averages across grade levels and subject areas.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, East Fannin Elementary's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 31.3%, compared to the county's 30.8% and the state's 34.9%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.65% to 74.41% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby West Fannin Elementary (72.81%) and Blue Ridge Elementary (72%). Despite these challenges, East Fannin Elementary spends more per student, ranging from $11,774 to $12,520 per student, and has a higher student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby schools.

The data suggests that East Fannin Elementary has room for improvement, with its statewide ranking dropping from 371 out of 1,209 Georgia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 647 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025, and its star rating fluctuating between 2 and 3 stars during this period. Collaboration with the higher-performing nearby schools and the Fannin County School District could provide valuable insights and strategies to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
