Summary

Moreland Road Elementary in Griffin, GA, serves approximately 490 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Griffin-Spalding County school district, where 86.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school's standout success is in third-grade mathematics, where 41.6% of students scored proficient on the Milestones Assessment—dramatically above the district average of 31.1% and nearly matching the state average of 48.3%. This represents remarkable growth over three years, climbing from 14.5% to 27.4% to the current 41.6%. Among nearby schools, only Crescent Road Elementary (55.1%) and Pike County Elementary (67.9%) outperform Moreland Road in this metric, while the school exceeds Jordan Hill Road (20%), Atkinson (25.4%), Cowan Road (24.3%), Moore (15.6%), and Anne Street (11.6%) by substantial margins. Fifth-grade science is another relative strength, with 30.5% proficiency versus 26.4% district-wide, a pattern that has held for four consecutive years. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1 and has increased per-student spending to $15,946.

However, challenges remain. Fourth-grade math proficiency sits at just 20.4%, a 21-point gap from third grade that emerged this year—a pattern worth watching to see if successful third-grade strategies can be replicated upward. Chronic absenteeism stands at 21.8%, better than the district's 24.0% but above the state's 17.7%, and notably higher than Crescent Road's 11.1% and Jackson Road's 16.6%. The school's overall state ranking improved from 953rd to 905th, and its African American students perform relatively well statewide (40th percentile). While the school's ranking has fluctuated over the past decade, the recent third-grade gains and improved ranking suggest positive momentum worth building on.
