Summary

Stringfellow Elementary School in Moultrie, GA, is a small PK-5 school within the Colquitt County district, serving 220 students where 100% qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Stringfellow is in the midst of one of the most dramatic academic turnarounds in the state. In just three years, the school jumped from the 3rd percentile (ranked 1,207 out of 1,244 Georgia elementary schools) to the 67th percentile (ranked 398 out of 1,219), earning a 3-star rating. The gains are especially strong in math: 5th grade math proficiency soared from just 6% in 2022-2023 to 55.5% in the latest testing cycle, and 3rd grade math now sits at 51.7%—both above state averages. Science performance is also a highlight, with 55.5% of 5th graders proficient, beating both the district (48.6%) and state (44.2%). The school has invested heavily in this success, spending $27,014 per student—nearly double what nearby Wright Elementary School spends ($13,693)—and maintaining an 8:1 student-teacher ratio, the lowest among comparable schools. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped from 33.9% to 15%, now below the state average.

While the overall trend is strongly positive, there are still areas to watch. Fourth grade math (38.1%) lags behind the district (56.5%) and state (50.1%), and recent ELA scores (from the prior year) were modest, though new ELA results will be released in December. Compared to nearby schools, Stringfellow now outperforms Cox Elementary School (27th percentile) despite serving a similar high-poverty population, and it trails only the district's top performers like Hamilton Elementary School (82nd percentile), which serves a less economically disadvantaged student body. The key question is sustainability—can the district maintain this level of funding and staffing to keep the momentum going? For now, Stringfellow stands as a powerful example that high-poverty schools can achieve above-average results with the right resources.
