Summary

Menlo Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Menlo, Georgia, with 340 students. The school is part of the Chattooga County School District, which is ranked 156 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Menlo Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from a high of 362 out of 1,209 Georgia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to its current rank of 854 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025.

Menlo Elementary consistently underperforms the state and county averages on the Georgia Milestones assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15% of 3rd graders at Menlo were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.9% statewide. In math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 23.5% to 41.2% across the grade levels, well below the state averages of 37.3% to 49%. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.91% to 78.82% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Menlo Elementary to other schools in the same district, such as Leroy Massey Elementary and Lyerly Elementary, as well as nearby schools in other districts, such as West End Elementary, Armuchee Elementary, and Gilbert Elementary, Menlo consistently performs worse on standardized test scores, especially in math and science. This suggests that the challenges faced by Menlo Elementary may be systemic issues within the Chattooga County School District.
