Summary

Wright Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Moultrie, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 544 students. The school is part of the Colquitt County School District, which is ranked 101 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wright Elementary School consistently outperforms the Colquitt County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 58.6% of 5th-grade students at Wright Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 32.3% in Colquitt County and 43% statewide. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.6 to 14.4 over the past few years, and a higher per-student spending compared to the state average, with spending ranging from $8,300 to $9,456 per student.

When compared to nearby schools in the Colquitt County district, Wright Elementary consistently outperforms its peers in academic metrics, such as Milestones Assessment proficiency rates.
