Summary:
The city of Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia is home to a single public elementary school, Mount Yonah Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 459 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 91.72% of students identifying as white, and a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 51.42%.
Academically, Mount Yonah Elementary has seen mixed results on the Georgia Milestones Assessment. While its 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate of 27.9% is lower than the White County (36%) and Georgia (38.4%) averages, the school's 5th grade ELA proficiency rate of 64% is significantly higher than the county (51.5%) and state (48.2%) averages. Additionally, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 59.3% is also strong compared to the county (45.2%) and state (41.7%) averages.
Despite its academic strengths, Mount Yonah Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 295th out of 1,242 Georgia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 381st out of 1,218 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to maintain its performance compared to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $10,338, while above the national average, is still below the state average for Georgia, which could be a factor in the school's academic performance.
