Summary

Pearl Stephens Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Warner Robins, Georgia, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 439 students. The school is part of the Houston County School District, which is ranked 60th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's overall performance, Pearl Stephens Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Houston County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the county and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Pearl Stephens Elementary School has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, and has received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

One potential factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which reached 100% in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, which can be a significant challenge. However, the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $9,710 to $10,154 over the past few years, indicates that funding is not a major constraint. When compared to nearby schools in the Houston County district, such as Hilltop Elementary School, Quail Run Elementary School, and Bonaire Elementary School, it becomes clear that Pearl Stephens Elementary School is an outlier in terms of academic performance, with proficiency rates that are 20-40 percentage points lower in many cases.
