Summary

Crescent Road Elementary School in Griffin, GA, serves approximately 429 students in grades PK-5 and stands out as one of the strongest elementary schools in the Griffin-Spalding County district, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 64th percentile statewide.

This school is a clear academic standout compared to its neighbors. In math, Crescent Road students dramatically outperform district averages—for example, 55.1% of 3rd graders and 56.4% of 4th graders are proficient, compared to district averages of 31.1% and 32.8%, respectively. These scores even exceed state averages. The school also excels in reading, with 5th graders hitting 59.1% proficiency in the most recent complete data, far above the district's 29.4%. While science scores dipped recently, the school still beats the district average. Perhaps most impressive is the school's success with African American students, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide—a 4-star rating. The school also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at just 11.1%, less than half the district average of 24%, showing that students are showing up ready to learn.

What makes this success even more notable is the context. Crescent Road serves a high-needs population, with 78.79% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a significant jump from the previous year. Despite this, the school improved its ranking. It also spends less per student ($15,586) than several nearby schools that perform far worse, such as Beaverbrook Elementary ($17,416) and Anne Street Elementary ($15,614), which rank in the 25th and 2nd percentiles, respectively. While schools like Jackson Road Elementary also perform well, Crescent Road's consistent 3-star or better rating for a decade—despite rising poverty—shows effective teaching and strong support systems that make it a model for the entire district.
