Summary

Moreland Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Griffin, Georgia, serving 446 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Griffin-Spalding County School District, which is ranked 174 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moreland Road Elementary consistently underperforms compared to other schools in the district and the state. The school's proficiency rates in the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.6% of 5th-grade students at Moreland Road were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 29.4% for the district and 43% for the state. The school's statewide ranking has also declined, dropping from 579 out of 1,234 Georgia elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 953 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025.

One potential contributing factor to Moreland Road Elementary's academic challenges is the high concentration of poverty in the school's community. The school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.06% in 2023-2024 to 98.38% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Futral Road Elementary (72.96%) and Crescent Road Elementary (57.97%). Additionally, Moreland Road Elementary's spending per student is lower than some nearby schools, which may indicate potential resource allocation disparities within the district.
