Summary

Cedar Ridge Elementary School in Grovetown, GA, serves approximately 1,060 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the highly rated Columbia County School District, which ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide.

Cedar Ridge is a solid, dependable school that earned a 4-star rating and ranked in the 71st percentile of Georgia elementary schools this year. One of its standout strengths is how well it supports students from diverse backgrounds—its Hispanic students rank in the 86th percentile statewide, and its African American students rank in the 78th percentile, both notably higher than the school's overall ranking. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism low at 11.5%, well below the state average of 17.7%, and it does so while spending less per student ($11,723) than nearby schools like Brookwood Elementary ($15,445) or Lewiston Elementary ($13,768).

The main area for growth is 5th grade math, where only 42.7% of students are proficient—a significant gap compared to nearby schools like Lewiston (75.6%) and even Grovetown Elementary (55.3%). This challenge appears subject-specific, since 5th grade science (48.1%) actually exceeds the state average. There is also a gender gap, with female students outperforming male students by about 6 percentile points. Within the local area, Cedar Ridge sits in the middle of the pack—below standout Lewiston Elementary and improving Baker Place Elementary, but above Grovetown Elementary and North Harlem Elementary. The contrast with nearby Richmond County schools is stark—Belair Elementary and Sue Reynolds Elementary rank in the 30th and 2nd percentiles, respectively. Overall, Cedar Ridge is an efficient, well-run school that delivers strong results for many students, with clear opportunities to strengthen 5th grade math and better engage boys.
