Summary:

The Griffin-Spalding County school district in Georgia serves approximately 18 schools—11 elementary, 4 middle, and 3 high schools—across a predominantly rural and small-town area, with enrollment ranging from just 47 students at AZ Kelsey Academy to 1,505 at Griffin High School.

If you're looking for standout schools, Crescent Road Elementary School is the clear district leader, ranking in the 64th percentile statewide with 3 stars—the highest rating in the district—and posting math proficiency rates roughly 20 points above district averages. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (11.1%) and the lowest poverty rate (78.79% free/reduced lunch). Rehoboth Road Middle School is exceptional in accelerated math, with 95.2% of its Algebra I students scoring proficient—more than double the state average—while Jackson Road Elementary School showed the biggest improvement, jumping 15 percentile points to the 51st percentile. At the other end, Anne Street Elementary School (2nd percentile), Moore Elementary School (4th percentile), Atkinson Elementary School (4th percentile), and Cowan Road Elementary School (4th percentile) all struggle with single-digit proficiency rates in most subjects.

District-wide, chronic absenteeism is a major concern at 24.0% versus the state's 17.7%, and it worsens with grade level—elementary schools average 19.5%, middle schools 27.5%, and high schools 30.8%. The highest absenteeism is at Kennedy Road Middle School (33.4%) and Griffin High School (32.4%), which also show the weakest academic performance at their levels. Despite low test scores, both traditional high schools exceed state graduation rates—Griffin High School at 93.4% and Spalding High School at 88.0%. Science proficiency lags badly across the district, with 8th-grade science ranging from 3.7% to 13.8% (state: 29.7%). The bright spots—Crescent Road's success, strong middle school Algebra acceleration, and above-average graduation rates—show that excellence is possible, but scaling it while tackling absenteeism and science instruction remains the district's biggest challenge.
