Elementary Schools in Treutlen County

Treutlen Elementary School is the sole elementary school in Treutlen County, serving grades PK through 5 in the rural community of Soperton, Georgia, with an enrollment of 499 students.

Treutlen Elementary has shown impressive and consistent improvement, climbing from the 66th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 75th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. The school's biggest strength is mathematics, where it dramatically outperforms the state average at every grade level. In the most recent testing year, 70.5% of 3rd graders, 64.5% of 4th graders, and 53.3% of 5th graders scored proficient in math—beating state averages by 22, 14, and 9 points respectively. This is especially notable because 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a demographic often associated with lower performance. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3:1 and spends $16,349 per student, which may support these outcomes.

However, the picture is mixed outside of math. Science remains a clear weakness, with only 35.6% of 5th graders proficient compared to the state's 44.2%. English Language Arts performance is inconsistent: 3rd graders exceed the state average by nearly 9 points, but 5th graders trail by 3 points. There is also a pattern of declining math proficiency as students advance—from 70.5% in 3rd grade down to 53.3% in 5th grade—suggesting the school's advantage narrows in upper grades. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism is 16.4%, below both the district (21.0%) and state (17.7%) averages. Since this is the only elementary school in the district, its scores directly determine the district's elementary ranking. Overall, Treutlen Elementary is a high-poverty school achieving strong math results and steady ranking gains, though science and upper-grade retention offer clear opportunities for further improvement.
