Summary

Smith-Barnes Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Stockbridge, Georgia, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 245 students. The school is part of the Henry County School District, which is ranked 143 out of 206 districts in Georgia and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $11,308 to $11,707 in recent years, Smith-Barnes Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 896 and 1,059 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance compared to other schools in the state. Its proficiency rates in the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the Henry County and Georgia state averages.

When comparing Smith-Barnes Elementary School to the nearby schools in the Henry County district, such as Woodland Elementary, Flippen Elementary, and Hickory Flat Elementary, it becomes clear that Smith-Barnes is an outlier in terms of academic performance, as these other schools generally perform better on standardized tests and have higher SchoolDigger rankings, despite serving similar student populations. The high poverty rates and economic disadvantage of the student population at Smith-Barnes Elementary School may be contributing to the low academic performance, and the school's persistent underperformance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of its challenges.
