Summary

Pearl Stephens Elementary School in Warner Robins, GA, serves 436 students in grades 3-5 as part of the Houston County school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school currently holds a 1-star rating, ranking in the 25th percentile statewide—a slight dip from the 2-star ratings it earned in the previous three years. While this year’s ranking represents a step back, the longer-term picture shows meaningful progress: the school climbed from the 20th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 45th percentile in 2020-2021, and has generally held in the 25th-40th percentile range since then.

In math, Pearl Stephens posted proficiency rates of 37.8% (3rd grade), 31.7% (4th grade), and 29.4% (5th grade)—all well below district averages of roughly 50-54%. The contrast with Bonaire Elementary, just 4.37 miles away, is stark: Bonaire achieved 73-84% proficiency in the same subjects and grades, though Bonaire serves a very different population (about 39% free/reduced lunch versus Pearl Stephens’ 100%). Science is a particular challenge—only 23.4% of 5th graders were proficient, compared to the district average of 48.5%. However, there’s a notable bright spot: Hispanic students at Pearl Stephens rank in the 59th percentile statewide (3 stars), the highest of any subgroup at the school. Special education students, by contrast, rank in the 15th percentile, suggesting targeted support in this area could yield meaningful gains.

On the positive side, chronic absenteeism at 16.9% is actually below the state average (17.7%) and only slightly above the district average (15.6%)—a strong result for a high-poverty school. The school also spends more per student ($15,518) than higher-performing peers like Hilltop Elementary ($14,795), Quail Run Elementary ($13,171), and Bonaire ($12,634), and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1. While these resources haven’t yet translated into the academic gains seen at nearby schools, Pearl Stephens has shown more year-over-year stability than some peers—Westside Elementary has dropped from the 22nd to 10th percentile, and Miller Elementary from the 29th to 13th. This consistency suggests a foundation that could support future growth.
