Summary

Tucker Elementary School in Perry, GA, serves 486 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Houston County School District, which holds a 3-star rating.

Tucker Elementary is showing a clear upward trend. The school’s statewide ranking has improved for three straight years, moving from 686th to 552nd out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools. One of the school’s biggest strengths is attendance: chronic absenteeism has dropped from 20.6% to 13.1% over the past three years, which is now better than both the district (15.6%) and state (17.7%) averages. This is especially notable given that nearly 95% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate much higher than many neighboring schools. In math, 3rd graders made a remarkable 16-point jump in proficiency, climbing from 33.3% to 49.3%—now above the state average. However, 4th and 5th grade math scores trail district averages, and 5th grade science (38.7%) remains a challenge, sitting well below the district (48.5%) and state (44.2%).

Compared to nearby schools, Tucker holds its own against Morningside Elementary, which is just over a mile away and serves a similarly high-poverty population. Tucker outperforms Morningside in 3rd and 4th grade math and has a slightly better attendance rate. The gap is larger when compared to schools like Matthew Arthur Elementary or Langston Road Elementary, which rank in the 80th–90th percentiles and serve far fewer students in poverty. Tucker invests more per student ($14,393) than several nearby schools and maintains a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio. While there is still ground to cover, the combination of rising test scores, improving attendance, and strong per-student investment points to a school moving in the right direction.
