Summary

Boynton Elementary School in Ringgold, GA, serves approximately 580 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Catoosa County school district, and it has earned a 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide.

Boynton Elementary stands out most for its exceptional mathematics achievement. In 3rd grade math, 66.7% of students are proficient—more than 20 percentage points above the state average and double the rate at nearby Tiger Creek Elementary School (33.3%). The school also leads its neighbors in 4th and 5th grade math, with proficiency rates of 60.2% and 57.6%, respectively. This represents a dramatic turnaround: just two years ago, 3rd grade math proficiency was only 34.3%, below state averages. The improvement is consistent across all grade levels, suggesting systemic changes are working. Boynton also posts strong 5th grade science scores (48.6% proficient) and maintains very low chronic absenteeism at 12.1%, well below the district (16.4%) and state (17.7%) averages. Compared to five nearby Catoosa County elementary schools, Boynton is the top performer, ahead of Graysville Elementary School (64th percentile), Cloud Springs Elementary School (59th), Ringgold Elementary School (51st), Tiger Creek (40th), and West Side Elementary School (37th).

With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1 and per-student spending of $14,394, Boynton achieves strong results efficiently. The school serves a comparatively more affluent population, with 38.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, versus over 90% at several neighboring schools. While overall performance is strong, the school's White student subgroup ranks at the 48th percentile statewide, below the school's overall ranking, indicating an area for continued focus. Science scores also dipped in 2024-2025 before rebounding, so consistency will be worth monitoring. For parents, Boynton Elementary offers a proven track record of academic growth, particularly in math, and a positive attendance culture that supports student success.

My son is only in Pre-K but even the older students are friendly and welcoming to him. His teachers are wonderful and the principal and staff are as well. As another reviewer said, you walk in the doors and feel welcome and can tell that your child is loved & nurtured! Close Quote

The teachers absolutely are incredible. When you walk in the doors you feel welcome & know that your children are loved and parents are encouraged to be involved. The principal shows the same kind of love & respect to the children that the teachers do-it's certain the tone of the school starts at the top & goes all the way down to the bottom of the ladder!
