Summary:
The city of Lavonia, Georgia has only one school in the data set - Lavonia Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 549 students. Lavonia Elementary is part of the Franklin County school district, which is ranked 67 out of 193 districts in the state of Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lavonia Elementary School's test scores on the Georgia Milestones Assessment are generally below the county and state averages across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 34% in the county and 38.4% statewide. Additionally, over two-thirds of Lavonia Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's relatively low per-student spending of $9,982 may also be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.
Despite these challenges, Lavonia Elementary has a diverse student population, with a majority White population but significant representation from African American, Hispanic, and other racial/ethnic groups. Addressing the unique needs of this diverse student body, while also tackling the issues of underperforming test scores and high poverty levels, will be crucial for the school to improve and better serve its students.
