Summary

Elbert County Elementary School in Elberton, GA, serves 633 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the Elbert County district, which holds a 2-star rating.

This is a school on a strong upward trajectory. Over the past four years, Elbert County Elementary has climbed more than 360 positions in statewide rankings, moving from the 35th percentile (2 stars) in 2021-2022 to the 63rd percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026. That improvement is especially notable given that 100% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 76.5% the prior year. The school has also made dramatic progress in attendance: chronic absenteeism dropped from 19.4% in 2022-2023 to 12.4% in 2025-2026, which is now better than both the district (14.8%) and state (17.7%) averages. In science, 5th graders reached 49.4% proficiency in 2025-2026, outpacing the state average of 44.2% and marking a nearly 19-point gain over two years. Math performance is strong in 3rd and 4th grades, with both exceeding state averages, though 5th grade math (41.9%) still trails the state (44.1%)—a gap that has narrowed considerably from 26.9% two years ago.

One of the school's standout achievements is its work with Hispanic students, who ranked in the 85th percentile statewide (4 stars) in 2025-2026—placing them in the top 15% of all Georgia schools. The school also supports special education students well, ranking in the 62nd percentile. When compared to nearby schools, Elbert County Elementary holds its own against higher-rated districts: its ranking (447th) is nearly identical to Colbert Elementary (445th), Danielsville Elementary (448th), and Comer Elementary (430th) in the 4-star Madison County district—while outperforming Hartwell Elementary (696th) and Royston Elementary (642nd). It achieves these results with lower per-student spending ($13,763) than several peers, making it an efficient and effective choice for families.
