Elementary Schools in Lee County

Lee County is home to four elementary schools serving approximately 2,697 students in Leesburg, Georgia, with two primary schools (Kinchafoonee Primary School and Lee County Primary School) covering grades PK-2 and two elementary schools (Twin Oaks Elementary and Lee County Elementary School) covering grades 3-5. The district ranks in the top 10% of Georgia districts with a 5-star rating, and all four schools keep chronic absenteeism rates between 9.4% and 10.8%—well below the state average of 17.7%.

Among the two testing schools, Twin Oaks Elementary is the current academic leader, ranking 235th statewide (81st percentile) and posting the district’s strongest 5th grade math scores at 65.8% proficiency. However, Lee County Elementary School is close behind at 253rd and actually outpaces Twin Oaks in 3rd grade math (67% vs. 60.2%). Both schools improved dramatically year-over-year—Twin Oaks jumped 106 spots and Lee County Elementary jumped 119 spots—and both exceed state averages in math and science by 7 to 21 percentage points. The primary schools, while not tested, show strong foundations: Lee County Primary School has the best student-teacher ratio (12.7:1) and the lowest absenteeism (9.6%), while Kinchafoonee Primary School posts a 10.8% absenteeism rate.

Financially, the primary schools spend more per student ($13,222–$13,355) than the upper elementary schools, with Twin Oaks the most efficient at $11,524 per student while still achieving top results. Socioeconomic profiles are remarkably uniform—free/reduced lunch rates range only from 61.96% to 63.66%—making academic comparisons between the two testing schools especially meaningful. The district’s consistent attendance, strong early-grade investment, and upward test-score momentum suggest a well-coordinated system where students transition smoothly from primary to elementary grades and arrive in 3rd grade with exceptional math readiness.
