Summary

Lane Elementary School in Macon, GA, serves approximately 484 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Bibb County School District, and has climbed from the 7th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 40th percentile in 2025-2026—a remarkable five-year turnaround that has earned the school a 2-star rating.

Lane stands out for its strong academic momentum in mathematics. In 3rd grade math, proficiency reached 43.5% in 2025-2026, outpacing the district average of 31.1% by more than 12 points, and the school consistently beats district averages in math across all grade levels. The school also shows exceptional results with African American students, ranking in the 68th percentile statewide for this group—a 3-star performance that exceeds the school's overall ranking. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 32.6% in 2022-2023 to 18.9% in 2025-2026, now better than the district average of 27.5% and only slightly above the state average. When compared to nearby schools, Lane sits in a middle tier: Springdale Elementary (66th percentile) and Carter Elementary (69th percentile) outperform Lane, while Rosa Taylor Elementary (10th percentile) and Union Elementary (9th percentile) lag behind.

Despite serving a population where about 65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, Lane outperforms its district in nearly every subject and grade level tested. The school spends roughly $15,376 per student—mid-range compared to peers—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1. Areas for growth include 5th grade math, which has declined to 30.4% proficiency versus the state average of 44.1%, and a notable gender gap: female students rank in the 56th percentile statewide while male students rank in the 25th percentile. Science proficiency (34%) also trails the state average (44.2%). Overall, Lane represents a school in genuine transformation, with steady improvement, strong subgroup performance, and effective use of resources—though closing the gender gap and strengthening upper-grade results remain key challenges.
