Summary

Winterville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Winterville, Georgia, with 356 students. The school is part of the Clarke County School District, which is ranked 150 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winterville Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other schools in the state. The school's test scores on the Georgia Milestones Assessment are much lower than the Clarke County and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 26.6% in the district and 34.9% statewide. Additionally, Winterville Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83-84% in recent years, much higher than the district and state averages.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($15,060 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools like Barrow Elementary and Johnnie Lay Burks Elementary, which range from $11,279 to $14,084 per student, Winterville Elementary is not achieving better academic outcomes. This suggests that the additional resources are not being effectively utilized to address the school's specific needs.
