Summary:
Montgomery County, Georgia has only one elementary school, Montgomery County Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 440 students. The school is part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 100 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Montgomery County Elementary School has struggled academically in recent years, with proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones Assessment that are significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 20.4% in 3rd grade ELA to 46.3% in 4th grade Math, compared to state averages of 34.9% to 49%. This low academic performance has been relatively consistent across multiple grade levels and subject areas over the past two school years.
The school has a very high percentage of students, 93.41% in the 2023-2024 school year, who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a predominantly low-income student population. While the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was above the state average at $11,344, and the student-teacher ratio of 11.8 to 1 in 2023-2024 is relatively low, these resources may not be sufficient to overcome the challenges faced by the high-poverty student population. Addressing the school's academic struggles will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and implement effective interventions and support systems.
