Summary

Wright Elementary School in Moultrie, GA, serves approximately 554 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Colquitt County school district, and it has earned a 4-star rating while ranking in the 83rd percentile of Georgia elementary schools.

Wright Elementary stands out for its consistent upward momentum. The school has climbed from the 66th percentile in 2021-2022 to its current 83rd percentile ranking, earning 4-star ratings in six of the past seven years. This progress is especially visible in math, where proficiency rates jump dramatically as students move through grade levels—from 47.9% in 3rd grade to 67.6% in 4th grade and 68.4% in 5th grade. That pattern is unusual, as most schools see flat or declining scores in upper grades. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 73.7% is exceptional, outpacing the district by 25 points and the state by nearly 30 points. Wright also posts an impressively low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.5%—less than half the state average—and has kept that rate below 11.3% for five straight years.

What makes Wright particularly noteworthy is how it achieves these results. The school spends $13,693 per student, the lowest among nearby schools, yet outperforms most of them. For example, Stringfellow Elementary spends nearly double per student yet ranks 16 percentile points lower. The contrast with Cox Elementary, just over a mile away, is striking: Wright's 5th grade math proficiency (68.4%) is nearly triple Cox's (25.8%), and its science proficiency is more than double. Wright also shows strong results for male students, who rank in the 87th percentile statewide—higher than the school's female students. Even during the 2022-2023 year, when nearly 97% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, the school maintained a 79th percentile ranking, demonstrating that its success is not tied to a more affluent student body.
