Summary

Toccoa Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-4 in Toccoa, Georgia, with a student population of 603. While the school has consistently been ranked in the middle range of Stephens County elementary schools, it faces several key challenges, including lower-than-average test scores and high poverty rates among its student population.

Toccoa Elementary's test scores on the Milestones Assessment are generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 31.2% of 3rd graders and 28.3% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 34.9% and 39.3% respectively. However, the school performed better in Mathematics, with 51.4% of 3rd graders and 46.3% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 44.3% and 49%. When compared to the nearby Habersham County schools, Toccoa Elementary generally performs worse on test scores, particularly in English Language Arts.

Another key factor at Toccoa Elementary is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.98% to 75.13% over the past few years. This suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which can have a significant impact on educational outcomes. Despite these challenges, Toccoa Elementary's ranking among Georgia elementary schools has fluctuated over the years, but has generally trended upward, indicating the school may be making gradual improvements, though it still lags behind the state average.
