Summary:
The city of Lake City, Georgia has only one school serving grades PK-5 - Lake City Elementary School. This public school is part of the Clayton County school district, which is ranked 173 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lake City Elementary School appears to be an underperforming school, with students consistently scoring below the county and state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 17.2% in Clayton County and 34.9% statewide. The school's math and science scores were also significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 779th out of 1,242 Georgia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 936th out of 1,238 in 2024-2025.
The challenges facing Lake City Elementary School may be related to resource constraints, as the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (86.84%) and a relatively low per-student spending of $8,463 in the 2018-2019 school year. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.8 in the 2023-2024 school year also suggests that the school may be struggling to provide the necessary support and attention to its students. These factors, combined with the school's declining performance, indicate that further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve outcomes for the students at Lake City Elementary School.
