Summary

Funston Elementary School in Funston, GA, serves 376 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Colquitt County school district, and it has become one of the region's most improved schools.

Funston has undergone a remarkable transformation, jumping from the 36th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 70th percentile in 2025-2026—a gain of 34 percentile points in just two years that earned the school a 4-star rating. This upward trajectory stands out among nearby schools; while Stringfellow Elementary also showed a strong single-year jump, Funston's improvement has been more sustained. The school's standout success is with English Language Learner and Hispanic students, ranking in the 90th and 86th percentiles statewide respectively—achievements no nearby school comes close to matching. Fifth-grade mathematics performance is particularly impressive at 62.2% proficiency, which is 18 points above the state average and trails only Wright Elementary among comparable schools. Fifth-grade science also shines at 52.8%, well above the state's 44.2%.

Despite 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Funston maintains a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.3%—down from 19.0% two years ago and well below the district average of 15.1%. The school also demonstrates efficient use of resources, spending $18,752 per student while outperforming schools with higher spending like Okapilco Elementary ($21,431) and Stringfellow Elementary ($27,014). With a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio, Funston's investments in instruction appear to be paying off, particularly in math and science. While English Language Arts results from the most recent release are pending, the school's overall trajectory—rising from the 28th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 70th percentile today—suggests a comprehensive improvement effort that is working for its students.
