Summary

Statham Elementary School in Statham, GA, serves about 776 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Barrow County School District, and it currently holds a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 824th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools.

One of the most encouraging stories at Statham is its dramatic progress with attendance. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from a concerning 29.8% in 2021-2022 to just 9.0% today—a remarkable improvement that puts the school well below both the district average (17.0%) and the state average (17.7%). This suggests stronger student engagement and family connection. The school also shows a genuine strength in supporting students with disabilities, ranking in the 61st percentile statewide for this group—its highest subgroup rating. In science, 5th graders (31.9% proficient) now outperform the district average (30.5%), marking two consecutive years of improvement in this subject. Fifth grade math has also rebounded impressively, climbing from a low of 14.9% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 35.4% today—a 20-point jump over two years.

Still, challenges remain. Math proficiency across grades 3-5 hovers in the mid-30s, trailing both district and state averages, with the widest gap in 3rd grade. The school also sits near the bottom among Barrow County elementary schools with available data, ranking behind Winder Elementary, Holsenbeck Elementary, Austin Road Elementary, and Bethlehem Elementary. The contrast is even starker just across the district line, where nearby Oconee County schools like Dove Creek Elementary and Malcom Bridge Elementary post math proficiency rates of 75-86%. Per-student spending has risen 32% over three years to $16,145, yet test scores haven't fully caught up. With attendance now a clear strength, increased funding, and a stable student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, Statham has laid important groundwork—the question is whether academic gains will follow.
