Summary

Burroughs-Molette Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Brunswick, Georgia, with 592 students enrolled. The school is part of the Glynn County School District, which is ranked 59 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's overall performance, Burroughs-Molette Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Glynn County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2024-2025, only 14.6% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 34.2% in Glynn County and 34.9% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking as low as 1,184 out of 1,205 schools in 2016-2017, and currently holds a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Burroughs-Molette has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.78% in recent years, significantly higher than the nearby Sterling Elementary, Oglethorpe Point Elementary, Greer Elementary, and Golden Isles Elementary schools.

Despite spending more per student ($11,237 to $12,117 in recent years) compared to the nearby schools, Burroughs-Molette's academic performance has not improved. The other elementary schools in the Glynn County district significantly outperform Burroughs-Molette on the Milestones Assessments, with over 60% of students proficient in ELA and Math in 2024-2025, compared to Burroughs-Molette's 14.6% and 30.5% proficiency rates. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and community engagement, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
