Summary

Suder Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jonesboro, Georgia, serving 573 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clayton County School District, which is ranked 173 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Suder Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. The school significantly underperforms compared to the Clayton County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment tests for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.9% of 3rd graders, 20% of 4th graders, and 19.3% of 5th graders at Suder Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 34.9%, 39.3%, and 43% at the state level, respectively. Suder Elementary also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.49% to 99.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Suder Elementary to the other nearby schools in the Clayton County district, such as Hawthorne Elementary, Callaway Elementary, and Brown Elementary, it becomes clear that Suder is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. These nearby schools outperform Suder Elementary on the Milestones Assessments and have higher SchoolDigger rankings. Despite Suder's low student-teacher ratio, which could be leveraged as a strength, the school's long-standing challenges in academic performance and economic disadvantage suggest that a comprehensive, data-driven approach is needed to support student success.
