Summary

Nevils Elementary School in Statesboro, GA, serves 481 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Bulloch County School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating for four consecutive years while ranking in the 76th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its strong academic performance, especially in science. In the most recent testing cycle, 65.7% of 5th graders were proficient in science—a remarkable 17.9 percentage points above the district average and 21.5 points above the state. That places Nevils second only to Brooklet Elementary (70.6%) among nearby schools, and it's more than double the proficiency rates at Langston Chapel Elementary (12.2%) and Mill Creek Elementary (15.8%). In math, Nevils consistently outperforms district averages across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism remarkably low—just 15.3% compared to the district's 20.3%—suggesting a positive, engaging school climate.

What makes Nevils particularly impressive is its efficiency. The school serves a population where 79.2% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet it achieves top-quartile results while spending less per student ($14,720) than many higher-poverty peers that perform far worse. For example, Mattie Lively Elementary spends $17,734 per student but ranks in the 55th percentile, while Sallie Zetterower Elementary spends $16,170 and ranks in the 51st percentile. Nevils' ranking of 296th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools places it well ahead of most regional peers, including Julia P. Bryant Elementary and Stilson Elementary. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 and a decade-long upward trajectory, Nevils delivers strong, consistent results that make it a standout choice in southeast Georgia.
