Summary

Calhoun County Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Edison, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 196 students. The school is part of the Calhoun County School District, which is ranked 180 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Calhoun County Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on the Milestones Assessment across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly lower than the state averages, with the largest gaps in 3rd and 5th grade. The school has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Calhoun County Elementary School for the past several years, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in the state. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.8 to 11.9 students per teacher over the past few years, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students.

The nearby schools, such as Clay County Elementary, Early County Elementary School, and Randolph County Elementary School, also have relatively low academic performance and low school rankings compared to the state averages, suggesting that the challenges faced by Calhoun County Elementary School may be reflective of broader issues within the region. Additionally, Calhoun County Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.12% to 100% over the past few years, indicating that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
