Summary

East Laurens Elementary School in East Dublin, GA, serves 467 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the highly-rated Laurens County school district. The school has shown remarkable recent improvement, climbing from the 46th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 71st percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. This upward trend is especially notable given that 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school continues to outperform expectations.

One of the school's standout strengths is mathematics. In the 2025-2026 school year, 3rd graders achieved a 67.1% math proficiency rate and 4th graders reached 60.5%, both significantly above the state averages of 48.3% and 50.1%. Even 5th-grade math (47%) edged out the state average (44.1%). The school also excels at keeping students engaged—chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 17.3% in 2023-2024 to just 10.6% in 2025-2026, which is well below the district and state averages of 17.7%. This is particularly impressive when compared to the nearby East Laurens Primary School, which feeds into this elementary school and has a much higher absenteeism rate of 18.8%, suggesting the elementary school is highly effective at getting students to show up and learn.

While math is a clear strength, science is an area for growth—5th-grade science proficiency (40.6%) trails the state average (44.2%). The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3 and per-student spending of $14,768, which is higher than the state average and comparable to its high-performing district peers like Northwest Laurens Elementary (84th percentile) and Southwest Laurens Elementary (82nd percentile). When compared to schools in neighboring districts, East Laurens is a clear standout, significantly outperforming Johnson County Elementary School (31st percentile) and the Dublin City schools in overall ranking and math proficiency.
