Summary

Bayvale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Augusta, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with 380 students. 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. Bayvale Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1037 and 1162 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools.

Bayvale Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Richmond County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 9.8% of 3rd graders, 14.3% of 4th graders, and 15.2% of 5th graders at Bayvale were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 18.4%, 20.9%, and 25.5% for Richmond County, and 34.9%, 39.3%, and 43% for the state. Bayvale also has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 93.95% to 97.88% over the past few years, indicating a very high-poverty student population.

Despite higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, Bayvale Elementary's performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past several years, with no clear signs of improvement in academic outcomes. The school's struggles are in stark contrast to the higher-performing nearby schools within the same district, such as Monte Sano Elementary, Wilkinson Gardens Elementary, Jenkins-White Elementary, and Meadowbrook Elementary, which also serve high-poverty populations but have higher academic proficiency rates. This raises concerns about educational equity and the ability of the district to provide a high-quality education to all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
