Summary

Leroy Massey Elementary School in Summerville, GA, serves approximately 877 students in grades PK through 5 and is the largest elementary school in the Chattooga County district, with 94.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Leroy Massey faces significant challenges. In the most recent testing year, math proficiency rates ranged from 15.9% to 19.8% across grades 3-5, compared to state averages of 44-50%. This places the school in the 6th percentile statewide, a decline from previous years. The contrast with nearby Trion Elementary School, just 2 miles away, is striking—Trion posted math proficiency rates of 74-86% in the same grades. Even within its own district, Leroy Massey trails Menlo Elementary School (50th percentile) and Lyerly Elementary School (29th percentile). Science is a relative strength, with 22.5% of 5th graders proficient compared to 15.9% in math, though still below the state average of 44.2%. The school also shows a concerning pattern where math proficiency declines as students advance, with 5th graders consistently scoring lower than 3rd graders.

There are some positive developments. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 43.8% in 2021-2022 to 14.0% in 2024-2025, though it ticked up slightly to 18.5% most recently—near the state average. However, the school spends approximately $11,725 per student, less than all comparable nearby schools, despite serving the highest poverty rate in the area. The school's subgroup performance is also concerning, with white students ranking in the 0th percentile statewide. While the school has never earned more than 1 star, the 2025-2026 school year marks its first 0-star rating, reflecting a gradual decline from a 20th percentile ranking in 2016-2017. The dramatic performance gap with high-performing schools just miles away suggests significant opportunity for improvement through examining successful practices in neighboring districts.
