Summary

Grovetown Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 975 students in grades PK-5 in Grovetown, Georgia, which is part of the Columbia County School District. While the district is ranked 13th out of 206 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating, Grovetown Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Grovetown Elementary's test scores on the Georgia Milestones assessments are consistently lower than the Columbia County and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 51.8% in the district and 34.9% statewide. Additionally, Grovetown Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.46% in 2022-2023 to 68.1% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the district average. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 15 over the past few years, and its per-student spending has been around $8,900 in recent years, lower than the spending at some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Martinez Elementary, Euchee Creek Elementary, Lewiston Elementary, and Baker Place Elementary.

The schools in the neighboring Richmond County district, such as Barton Chapel Elementary, Sue Reynolds Elementary, and Belair K-8 School, have significantly lower test scores and state rankings than Grovetown Elementary and the other Columbia County schools, suggesting that Grovetown Elementary is an outlier in its performance compared to the broader regional context.

I only give one start because 0 isn’t an option.
The school allows students to be insulted and mistreated and sometimes it’s the staff picking at a child. I can’t imagine knowingly mistreating a child with autism but they seemed to enjoy it. Close Quote
