Summary

David A. Perdue Elementary School in Warner Robins, GA, serves 617 students in grades 3 through 5 as part of the Houston County School District, operating as the upper-campus companion to David A. Perdue Primary just down the road.

One of the school's standout strengths is attendance. With a chronic absenteeism rate of just 11.3%, Perdue Elementary significantly outperforms both the district (15.6%) and state (17.7%) averages—a pattern it has maintained for five straight years. Academically, the school shows a clear "growth" pattern: 4th graders consistently outperform 3rd graders by a wide margin. In 2025-2026, 4th grade math proficiency hit 57.1%, beating both district and state averages, while 3rd grade math lagged at 38.5%. This suggests the school is particularly effective at helping students catch up and thrive during their first year on campus. Science is another bright spot, with 5th graders posting 51% proficiency—above district and state levels. The school also earns high marks for specific student groups, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide for special education students and the 75th percentile for Hispanic students.

It's worth noting that the school's overall ranking has slipped from a 4-star to a 3-star rating over the past two years, coinciding with a rise in economic diversity (free/reduced lunch eligibility jumped from 44.7% to 63.4%). However, Perdue still achieves results comparable to nearby Russell Elementary while spending less per student ($13,128 vs. $15,250) and maintaining better attendance than Russell (11.3% vs. 16.0% chronic absenteeism). Compared to higher-ranked Langston Road Elementary and Lake Joy Elementary, Perdue holds its own in key areas like 4th grade and science. The most encouraging takeaway: the school appears to add significant academic value during the 3rd grade year, with a growth gap far exceeding district norms—a sign that students leave Perdue better prepared than when they arrived.
