Summary

Lamar - Milledge Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Augusta, Georgia, with 335 students enrolled. The school is part of the Richmond County School District, which is ranked 177 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lamar - Milledge Elementary consistently performs below the Richmond County and Georgia state averages on standardized tests. In 2024-2025, only 12.2% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 18.4% in Richmond County and 34.9% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, receiving 0-1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. This poor academic performance persists despite the school spending between $9,259 and $9,783 per student, which is on the higher end compared to nearby schools.

Lamar - Milledge Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 98-100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. While this high poverty rate is not unique to the school, as many nearby schools also serve similar demographics, the academic outcomes at Lamar - Milledge are significantly worse than at schools like Walker Traditional Elementary, which had 65.8% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2024-2025. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and curriculum, may be contributing to the persistent challenges at Lamar - Milledge Elementary.
