Summary

Ambrose Elementary School in Ambrose, GA, is a small rural school serving 391 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Coffee County district, and it has become one of the district's standout performers.

Ambrose Elementary has posted a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 44th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026—its best ranking in nearly a decade and a jump that earned it a 3-star rating. The school now outperforms most nearby elementary schools, including Satilla Elementary (25th percentile), Eastside Elementary (18th percentile), and Westside Elementary (23rd percentile). Only Indian Creek Elementary and Broxton-Mary Hayes Elementary (both at the 61st percentile) come close. In 3rd and 4th grade math, Ambrose exceeds both district and state averages—52.5% and 54.3% proficiency, respectively—while 5th grade science (52.4%) also tops the state average of 44.2%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.0% is dramatically lower than the district's 21.0% and the state's 17.7%, and it has been cut by nearly 40% over two years.

Ambrose serves a student body where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet it achieves results that rival or beat wealthier schools. The school also shows particular strength with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide for that group. One area to watch is 5th grade math, where proficiency (37.7%) trails the state average (44.1%), though it still leads the district. With a favorable 13.8:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $14,676, Ambrose is a promising example of a rural, high-poverty school on the rise—one that families in the area should keep an eye on.
