Summary

Burroughs-Molette Elementary School in Brunswick, GA, serves approximately 546 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Glynn County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Recent test data shows that math proficiency at Burroughs-Molette is well below district and state averages. For example, in 3rd grade math, about 25% of students met proficiency, compared to roughly 48% across the district and state. The gap widens in upper grades: 5th grade math proficiency sits at just 15%, less than one-third of the district rate. Science proficiency in 5th grade is also lower, at 28% versus 47% districtwide. Nearby schools show a stark contrast—Oglethorpe Point Elementary and St. Simons Elementary achieve math proficiency rates of 65-87%, while even Sterling Elementary, which also serves a 100% free/reduced lunch population, outperforms Burroughs-Molette by nearly 20 points in 3rd grade math. Chronic absenteeism is another concern, with 21.3% of students missing significant school time—higher than the district average of 15% and more than double the rate at Satilla Marsh Elementary (8.4%).

On a positive note, the school has shown it can achieve strong results. In the 2022-2023 school year, 5th grade math proficiency reached 44.2%, above the state average, and 5th grade science matched that level. The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1 and spends more per student ($17,770) than many nearby schools, including Greer Elementary ($15,767) and Golden Isles Elementary ($14,927). While recent years have seen a decline in overall rankings, the school's history of occasional strong performance suggests that with consistent support and community involvement, improvement is possible.
