Elementary Schools in Rabun County

Rabun County, Georgia is home to two strong-performing elementary schools: Rabun County Elementary School and Rabun County Primary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and are part of the highly-ranked Rabun County school district, which is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Both Rabun County Elementary School and Rabun County Primary School have consistently performed at or above the state average on the Georgia Milestones Assessment in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In 2024-2025, 4th grade students at Rabun County Elementary School outperformed the state average in ELA and Math, while 5th grade students also outperformed the state average in Science. The schools' relatively low student-teacher ratios of 13.5 and 12.9, respectively, suggest a focus on individualized attention and support for students.

Despite the strong academic performance, both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates of over 70%. This may present unique challenges, but the higher spending per student at the primary school level, $12,849 compared to $11,083 at the elementary school, indicates a focus on early childhood education that can have long-term benefits for student development and success.
