Summary

Clinch County Elementary School in Homerville, GA, serves approximately 625 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Clinch County district, and currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking in the 32nd percentile statewide.

One of the school's clearest strengths is student attendance. The chronic absenteeism rate is just 10.1%—well below the state average of 17.7% and better than nearby Ruskin Elementary School (15.2%), Pearson Elementary School (11.4%), and Lanier County Elementary School (11.9%). This is especially notable given that 100% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from about 74% just two years ago. Academically, the school shows a bright spot in 4th grade math, where 55% of students are proficient—actually exceeding the state average of 50.1% and competitive with nearby schools. However, 5th grade math tells a different story, with only 22.3% proficient compared to 44.1% statewide, and 5th grade science is the weakest area at 18.1% proficiency versus 44.2% statewide. This large gap between 4th and 5th grade performance suggests a possible transition challenge as students move into upper elementary grades.

Compared to neighboring schools, Clinch County Elementary School trails all three comparable schools in overall ranking—sitting at the 32nd percentile while Lanier County Elementary School ranks at the 70th percentile, Ruskin Elementary School at the 76th, and Pearson Elementary School at the 62nd. The school spends $14,493 per student—more than Pearson and Lanier—but has a higher student-teacher ratio (15.4) than all three comparison schools. While the school has never achieved a 4-star rating in the past decade, its strong attendance record and 4th grade math success show that effective practices exist and could potentially be expanded to other grades and subjects.
