Summary

Swint Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jonesboro, Georgia, serving 581 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clayton County School District, which is ranked 173 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Swint Elementary has consistently underperformed the Clayton County and Georgia averages on the Milestones Assessment, with only 22.4% of 3rd graders, 25% of 4th graders, and 23.8% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 34.9%, 39.3%, and 43% at the state level. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.38% to 100% over the past few years, and its per-student spending has been declining, from $9,805 in 2016-2017 to $8,695 in 2018-2019.

When comparing Swint Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, such as Kay R Pace Elementary School of the Arts and Arnold Elementary School, it becomes clear that Swint is one of the lower-performing schools, with significantly lower percentages of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's declining performance and high poverty concentration suggest that it may require significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

Swint is an excellent school with excellent teachers! All three of my children attended this school. The teachers work hard to ensure students are challenged. Although the school serves a highly transient population, administration and teachers are fully committed to each and every student. I am thankful for the time, effort, and love my children received at Swint. Close Quote
