Summary

Moore Elementary School in Griffin, GA, serves 335 students in grades PK-5 within the Griffin-Spalding County school district, where nearly 88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has historically ranked in the bottom 5% of Georgia elementary schools, currently sitting in the 4th percentile statewide, though recent data shows some encouraging signs of improvement.

In the most recent testing cycle, Moore's math proficiency rates remain well below district and state averages. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency is 15.6% compared to 31.1% district and 48.3% state averages, while 5th grade science proficiency is just 8.7%—roughly one-third of the district rate and one-fifth of the state rate. However, math scores have improved meaningfully across all grade levels from the prior year, with 4th grade math jumping from 16.7% to 25.6% proficiency. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also dropped from 36.3% in 2022-2023 to 24.7% currently, though it remains above the state average of 17.7%. Notably, nearby schools serving similar student populations achieve far better results—Crescent Road Elementary (1.74 miles away) ranks in the 64th percentile with 3rd grade math proficiency over 3.5 times higher, and Jackson Road Elementary (1.23 miles away) ranks in the 51st percentile despite a 93% free/reduced lunch rate.

Moore spends $15,589 per student—more than several higher-performing nearby schools—yet has a higher student-teacher ratio (15.5) than peers like Beaverbrook Elementary (12.2) and Orrs Elementary (12.0). The school's 2023-2024 year was its lowest point, with 3rd grade math at just 2% proficiency, so the current gains represent substantial progress from those depths. While challenges remain—particularly in science and overall achievement—the combination of rising math scores, reduced absenteeism, and improved state ranking (from 0th to 4th percentile) offers a foundation for continued growth. English Language Arts results will be released in December, providing a fuller picture of the school's academic standing.
