Summary:
Greene County Primary School is the only public school serving Union Point, Georgia, a small city in the Greene County district, and it educates students in grades PK through 4 with an enrollment of 582. This school stands out for its 100% free/reduced lunch rate, a high per-student spending of $19,860, and a favorable 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio, yet it has seen a steady decline in its state ranking over the past three years, dropping from the 52nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 22nd percentile in 2025-2026.
Academically, the school trails both district and state averages in most subjects. In the current 2025-2026 data, 3rd grade math proficiency is 34% (compared to 53.3% district and 48.3% state), while 4th grade math is 43% (versus 48.5% district and 50.1% state). The most alarming figure is 5th grade math at just 14.4% proficiency, far below the district’s 36.1% and state’s 44.1%, though this likely reflects students who have already moved on to another school. In the prior year’s ELA results, only 16.7% of 3rd graders and 20.2% of 4th graders were proficient, well under state averages. Notably, the gap between the school and district narrows from 3rd to 4th grade in math, suggesting some progress during a student’s time here, but overall performance remains a concern.
On a positive note, chronic absenteeism at 13.8% is below the state average of 17.7%, a bright spot given the high-poverty population. However, the combination of high spending and below-average results raises questions about resource effectiveness, and the favorable class sizes have not translated into stronger test scores. With a three-year downward trend in rankings and literacy clearly an area of need, parents should watch for the December release of current ELA scores to get a fuller picture. For now, this school offers strong support structures but faces significant academic challenges that may require targeted interventions.
