Summary

Brown Elementary School in Jonesboro, GA, serves 671 students in grades PK-5 within the Clayton County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Brown Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with overall test scores below the state average and a state ranking in the bottom quartile of Georgia elementary schools. However, the school shows notable strengths in specific areas. In the most recent testing year, 5th-grade science proficiency reached 27%, which was above the district average and higher than nearby schools like Kemp Elementary (19.2%), Suder Elementary (19.8%), and Hawthorne Elementary (22%). The school also demonstrates effectiveness with its African American student population, ranking in the 34th percentile for this subgroup—significantly higher than its overall ranking. Additionally, Brown outperforms several immediate peers in 4th-grade math, with a 26.6% proficiency rate compared to Pointe South Elementary (16.3%) and Lee Street Elementary (28.4%).

Chronic absenteeism is a concern at 22.3%, which is higher than the state average of 17.7%, but notably better than the district average (28.0%) and significantly lower than several nearby schools, including Suder Elementary (31.4%), Callaway Elementary (29.9%), and Lee Street Elementary (37.1%). While 5th-grade math has declined from 29.4% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 21% in 2025-2026, science scores have shown a steady upward trend, climbing from 21.1% to 27% over the same period. The school's state ranking has also improved from a low of 1067th in 2021-2022 to 1046th in 2025-2026, suggesting recent initiatives may be starting to yield positive results.
