Summary

Level Grove Elementary School in Cornelia, GA, serves approximately 591 students in grades PK–5 as part of Habersham County Schools, a district ranked in the upper tier of Georgia school systems.

Level Grove’s most standout strength is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate has dropped from 16.3% to just 7.0% over four years—less than half the district rate (13.2%) and far below the state average (17.7%). This is among the best in the region, beating nearby Cornelia Elementary (12.3%) and Clarkesville Elementary (11.2%). Academically, the school shines in early-grade math: 3rd graders scored 53.6% proficient versus 48.3% statewide, and 4th graders hit 51.7% versus 50.1% statewide. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending about $15,086 per student—roughly $2,000 less than peers like Baldwin Elementary ($17,322) and Hazel Grove Elementary ($17,192)—while still outperforming several of them.

The main area of concern is 5th grade math, which dropped 14 points in one year to 35.7% proficiency, now trailing the state (44.1%) and district (42.4%). This follows a pattern where the school’s relative performance erodes by 5th grade, though recent ELA data (from 2024-2025) showed 4th and 5th graders exceeding state averages by 5 and 3 points, respectively. The school also serves a population with significant economic need—the free/reduced lunch rate jumped to 96%—yet its statewide ranking has stayed remarkably stable, suggesting effective support for students. While subgroup data shows room for growth, particularly for Hispanic and White students, Level Grove’s overall profile is one of steady, cost-effective performance with a genuine attendance advantage.
