Summary

Lyerly Elementary School serves approximately 335 students in Pre-K through 8th grade in the small community of Lyerly, Georgia, as part of the Chattooga County School District. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 and serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with about 87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most impressive story at Lyerly is its dramatic improvement in student attendance. Chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 23.7% in 2021-2022 to just 3.1% currently—an 87% reduction that puts the school far ahead of the district average (18.2%) and the state average (17.7%). This is a remarkable achievement, especially when compared to nearby Leroy Massey Elementary School (18.5%) and Menlo Elementary School (8.1%). Strong attendance is a critical foundation for learning, and Lyerly clearly excels in getting students to school consistently.

Academically, Lyerly shows a clear pattern of strengthening performance as students advance. While elementary math proficiency (25.9% to 31.5% in grades 3-5) trails state averages, middle school math improves dramatically—reaching 54.2% proficiency in 8th grade, which exceeds both the state (46.3%) and district (30.8%) averages. The school also shines in 8th grade science, outperforming the state for three consecutive years, including a standout 48.6% proficiency rate in 2024-2025. Compared to Menlo Elementary, its closest structural peer as another PK-8 school, Lyerly actually outperforms in 8th grade math (54.2% vs. 44.2%) and science (37.1% vs. 29.4%). The school consistently beats Chattooga County district averages across nearly every subject and grade level. While the school's overall ranking sits at the 29th percentile statewide, its exceptional attendance and strong middle school results provide a solid foundation for continued growth.

My daughter has gone to Lyerly since Pre-K and I absolutely love everything about this school! They recently got a new Principal, plus they now finally have an art class and agricultural science program. No complaints. My daughter is now a happy 8th grader that is in the gifted program.
