Summary

East Fannin Elementary School in Morganton, GA, serves 465 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Fannin County school district, which holds a 3-star rating.

East Fannin currently ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide, a decline from its peak at the 69th percentile in 2017-2018. The school has seen a significant increase in economic need, with 100% of students now eligible for free or reduced lunch. In the most recent testing cycle, math proficiency lagged behind state averages in 3rd and 4th grades (34.6% and 32.9% proficient, respectively, versus state averages of 48.3% and 50.1%), but 5th grade math (42.6%) came close to the state average (44.1%). Science performance in 5th grade (44.1%) essentially matched the state average (44.2%). One notable strength is the school's work with special education students, who rank in the 68th percentile statewide—a 3-star rating that outpaces the school's overall performance. Chronic absenteeism (23.4%) remains a challenge, higher than the state average of 17.7% and above nearby Ellijay Elementary School (9.8%) and Union County Elementary School (13.7%).

Comparing East Fannin to its district sibling West Fannin Elementary School—which has similar enrollment, student-teacher ratio, and spending—reveals a striking gap. West Fannin ranks in the 69th percentile and outperformed East Fannin in every subject and grade tested, with particularly large differences in 5th grade math (62.7% vs. 42.6%) and science (58.2% vs. 44.1%). This suggests the district has the capacity for higher performance, and the gap may point to school-specific factors like leadership or instructional consistency. Test scores at East Fannin have also shown significant year-to-year swings, especially in 5th grade math, which dropped from 37.9% to 23% before rebounding to 42.6%. Despite these challenges, the school's success with special education students and near-average science scores offer a foundation for future improvement.
