Commerce Elementary School

Public Grades 3-4

Summary

Commerce Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-4 in Commerce, Georgia, with 282 students. It is part of the Commerce City School District, which is ranked 23 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Commerce Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in the Milestones Assessment for both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3 and 4. For example, in 2024-2025, 48.5% of 3rd graders and 58.7% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 34.9% and 39.3% respectively. Similarly, in Mathematics, 57.1% of 3rd graders and 63.2% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to state averages of 44.3% and 49%. However, the school's academic performance, while strong, is not the highest in the immediate vicinity, as Ila Elementary School and Jefferson Academy, both in the neighboring Madison County and Jefferson City districts, have higher academic proficiency rates and higher state rankings.

Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, with $9,175 spent per student in 2018-2019 compared to the state average of around $11,000, Commerce Elementary School's academic performance suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and community engagement, may play a significant role in driving student outcomes. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.4 to 15.3 over the past few years, which is lower than many of the nearby schools. Overall, Commerce Elementary School is a consistently high-performing school that outpaces state averages in academic achievement and is well-positioned to continue serving the needs of the Commerce community.
