Summary

Langston Chapel Elementary School in Statesboro, GA, serves 647 students in grades PK–5 within the Bulloch County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Langston Chapel currently ranks in the 16th percentile of Georgia elementary schools, placing it in the bottom fifth statewide. The most concerning trend is a sharp drop in proficiency as students move into upper grades. In the latest testing cycle, 5th grade math proficiency was just 13.3%—compared to 49.1% districtwide and 44.1% statewide—while 5th grade science proficiency was 12.2% versus 47.8% in the district. This pattern has persisted for multiple years, with 5th grade scores consistently falling well below 3rd and 4th grade results. By contrast, nearby Brooklet Elementary School, just 8 miles away, posts 5th grade math proficiency of 69.6% and science proficiency of 70.6%. Even Mattie Lively Elementary School, which also serves 100% economically disadvantaged students, outperforms Langston Chapel by roughly 28 points in both 5th grade subjects.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant challenge, with 24.1% of students missing substantial school time—higher than every other elementary school in the district and above the state average of 17.7%. The school spends $16,280 per student and maintains a favorable 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio, so resources are not the primary issue. There are some encouraging signs: the school's percentile ranking improved from 9th to 16th, and 4th grade math proficiency jumped from 12.6% to 40.9% in one year. However, the persistent 5th grade decline and elevated absenteeism suggest that sustaining academic growth in upper grades remains the school's biggest hurdle. For parents, this means early-grade instruction shows promise, but the transition to 5th grade—and the first science Milestones assessment—requires careful attention and support.
