Summary

East Laurens Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 469 students in grades 3-5 in East Dublin, Georgia, which is part of the Laurens County School District. While the district is ranked 41 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating, East Laurens Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the county and state averages on standardized tests.

In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.8% of 3rd graders at East Laurens Elementary were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 38.4% in Laurens County and 34.9% statewide. The school also has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching nearly 97% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the nearby Southwest Laurens Elementary (71.82%) and Northwest Laurens Elementary (49.89%). Despite spending more per student ($8,945 in 2018-2019) than the state average, East Laurens Elementary has not seen improved academic performance.

The low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 in 2023-2024 suggests that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support to students, but this has not translated into better outcomes. Over the past several years, East Laurens Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking as low as 671 out of 1,244 in 2021-2022. The nearby Southwest Laurens Elementary and Northwest Laurens Elementary significantly outperform East Laurens Elementary, highlighting the need to understand the specific factors contributing to the underperformance of this school.
