Summary

Rincon Elementary School in Rincon, GA, serves approximately 1,033 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly regarded Effingham County district, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide. The school itself has earned a consistent 4-star rating over the past decade, currently ranking in the 82nd percentile of Georgia elementary schools.

One of Rincon Elementary's standout strengths is its 3rd grade mathematics performance, where 71.1% of students scored proficient or above—matching the top local school, South Effingham Elementary, and exceeding the state average by nearly 23 percentage points. The school also excels with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide for this subgroup. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is notably low at 11.4%, well below the state average of 17.7%, which likely supports consistent learning. The school serves a student body where about 57% qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet it achieves outcomes comparable to or better than nearby schools with lower economic need, such as Marlow Elementary (46.1% free/reduced lunch) and South Effingham (33.4%).

While early-grade math is a clear strength, proficiency declines as students advance—5th grade math drops to 56.2%, a pattern seen at many peer schools but more pronounced here. Science performance (57.5% proficient) also trails several nearby schools, including Sand Hill Elementary (71%) and South Effingham (69.2%). On the positive side, Rincon operates efficiently, spending $14,605 per student—significantly less than Pooler Elementary in the neighboring Savannah-Chatham County district, which spends $20,367 per student yet ranks in only the 29th percentile. This efficiency, combined with stable attendance and balanced outcomes across student groups, makes Rincon a strong, cost-effective choice for families in the area.
