Summary

Dimon Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Columbus, Georgia, serving 331 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Muscogee County School District, which is ranked 155 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dimon Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Milestones Assessments, is consistently well below the Muscogee County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 35.2% of 5th-grade students at Dimon Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 31.9% for Muscogee County and 43% for the state.

Despite the academic challenges, Dimon Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 14.6 over the past few years, which is comparable to or slightly better than the nearby schools. However, the school's spending per student is lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Rigdon Road Elementary ($10,569) and Dorothy Height Elementary ($11,031). This raises questions about whether Dimon Elementary is receiving adequate resources and funding to address the needs of its predominantly low-income student population, which has free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 92.15% to 96.65%.
