Summary

Julia P. Bryant Elementary School in Statesboro, GA, serves 712 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and has earned a 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide—its best performance in a decade.

This school is on a strong upward trajectory. Just last year, it ranked in the 63rd percentile with a 3-star rating, so the jump to the 75th percentile represents a significant leap. The most impressive gains are in 5th grade: math proficiency soared from 47.7% to 60.5% in one year, and science proficiency jumped from 41.3% to 61.2%. These scores now outpace both the Bulloch County district and the state by double digits. The school also keeps students engaged, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7%—better than the district (20.3%) and state (17.7%) averages. When compared to nearby schools, Julia P. Bryant clearly stands out. For example, 5th grade math proficiency at Langston Chapel Elementary School is just 13.3%, and science proficiency is 12.2%—both less than one-fifth of Julia P. Bryant's rates. The school also outperforms Sallie Zetterower Elementary School (51st percentile) and Mattie Lively Elementary School (55th percentile), while ranking just below Brooklet Elementary School (86th percentile).

Julia P. Bryant also uses its resources efficiently. It spends $15,737 per student—less than Mattie Lively ($17,734) and Langston Chapel ($16,280)—yet achieves better results. The school serves a student body where about 79% qualify for free or reduced lunch, and despite this, performance has continued to climb. While 5th grade math and science are clear strengths, the school also shows solid upper-grade literacy, with 4th and 5th grade reading scores above district and state averages. For parents seeking a school with proven momentum, strong 5th grade outcomes, and a track record of improvement, Julia P. Bryant is a compelling choice in the Statesboro area.
