Summary

Swint Elementary School in Jonesboro, GA, serves approximately 544 students in grades PK-5 within the Clayton County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown meaningful improvement, climbing from the 19th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026—its best ranking since 2018-2019—while many nearby schools have stagnated or declined during the same period.

Swint’s standout strength is its 4th grade math performance, with 46.3% of students proficient in 2025-2026—a dramatic jump from 25% the prior year and nearly double the rates at nearby Tara Elementary School (29%), Pointe South Elementary School (16.3%), and Harper Elementary School (17.7%). The school also excels in 5th grade science, where 36.4% of students are proficient—10 points above the district average and second only to Kay R Pace Elementary School of the Arts (40%). Additionally, Swint’s African American students rank in the 51st percentile statewide, a 3-star rating that outpaces the school’s overall standing by 20 points.

Perhaps most impressive is Swint’s progress on attendance. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 33.6% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2025-2026—now matching the state average and far better than nearby schools like Lee Street Elementary School (37.1%), Suder Elementary School (31.4%), and Callaway Elementary School (29.9%). With a favorable 13.9:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending ($16,384) below several peers that achieve weaker results, Swint demonstrates that focused interventions can yield real gains. Still, 3rd and 5th grade math proficiency (24.1% and 22.1%) remain well below state averages, signaling room for continued growth.

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
