Summary

Radium Springs Elementary School in Albany, GA, serves 682 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Dougherty County school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Radium Springs faces significant academic challenges. Its state ranking has been persistently low, placing it in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for several years. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 1,197th out of 1,219 schools statewide. Math proficiency rates are well below district and state averages—for example, 3rd-grade math proficiency is 14.4% compared to the district average of 28.7% and the state average of 44.1%. Nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Robert H Harvey Elementary School, post significantly higher math scores (50.9% in 3rd grade). The school also struggles across all student subgroups, with performance for African American, male, female, and special education students all ranking in the bottom 5% statewide.

However, there is one remarkable bright spot: chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 40.7% in 2021-2022 to just 7.1% in the most recent year—far better than the district average (24.4%) and state average (17.7%), and dramatically lower than nearby peers like Turner Elementary School (29.5%) and Northside Elementary School (29.7%). This suggests the school has successfully gotten students to show up, but has not yet translated that into higher test scores. Per-student spending is $15,766, which is lower than several peers, yet higher than Lincoln Elementary Magnet School—a school with the same poverty level that achieves proficiency rates 3 to 5 times higher. The school’s percentile rank has ticked up slightly over the past two years, offering a small sign that the attendance gains may eventually lead to academic improvement.
