Summary

John Robert Lewis Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Macon, GA, serving 712 students in the Bibb County district, where about 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Math proficiency at John Robert Lewis drops sharply as students move up in grades. In the most recent testing year, 16.4% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, but that falls to just 3.4% in 4th grade and 4.9% in 5th grade—compared to district averages of roughly 31%, 34%, and 28% respectively. This steep decline is not typical of nearby schools with similar demographics. For example, Union Elementary (78.3% free/reduced lunch) posts 17.9% 3rd grade math proficiency, and Veterans Elementary (73.7%) reaches 17.6%. The contrast with Alexander II Magnet School, just 2.6 miles away, is striking: Alexander II achieves 54.7% 3rd grade math proficiency and 47.7% in 4th grade, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7% versus John Robert Lewis’s 30.5%. While Alexander II has a lower free/reduced lunch population (56.6%), the gap suggests school culture and instructional strategies play a significant role.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved from 42.7% in 2022-2023 to 30.5% recently, though it remains nearly double the state average. Science is a relative strength—16.4% of 5th graders are proficient, more than triple the math rate. The school spends $14,777 per student, similar to Williams Elementary ($19,630) but with comparable outcomes. The 4th grade math proficiency of 3.4% is the most urgent concern, and the school’s ranking has improved slightly from 1215th to 1207th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools. For parents, this is a school in the early stages of turnaround—attendance is trending better, but academic intervention, especially in upper-grade math, is critical.
