Summary

Langston Road Elementary School in Perry, GA, serves 473 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the Houston County school district, which ranks in the 68th percentile statewide.

Langston Road stands out for its consistent academic excellence across all subjects and grade levels. In the most recent testing year, math proficiency rates ranged from 53.4% in 3rd grade to 62% in 4th grade, outpacing district averages. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 61.7% was a remarkable 13.2 percentage points above the district average and 17.5 points above the state average. This pattern of outperformance has held steady for several years, making it a reliable choice for families. The school also excels with its Hispanic student population, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide—its highest subgroup ranking. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 8.9%, less than half the district rate of 15.6% and well below the state's 17.7%. This strong attendance record has been maintained for five consecutive years, providing a stable foundation for learning.

Compared to nearby schools, Langston Road is a top performer. Its current state ranking (245th) is higher than Tucker Elementary (552nd), Morningside Elementary (502nd), and David A. Perdue Elementary (416th). While it trails the very high-performing Matthew Arthur Elementary (126th), it outperforms similarly-sized Lake Joy Elementary (301st) and Kings Chapel Elementary (247th) in several key metrics, particularly 5th-grade science and math. Notably, Langston Road achieves these results despite a higher economic disadvantage rate (62.16% free/reduced lunch) than some peers, demonstrating effective teaching strategies that mitigate poverty-related challenges. The school also pairs with the adjacent Langston Road Primary School, creating a strong instructional pipeline from kindergarten through 5th grade. While its state ranking dipped slightly from the 88th to 80th percentile, this reflects faster improvement elsewhere, not declining scores. The school's per-student spending ($15,343) is efficient, delivering high academic output at a cost comparable to or lower than nearby schools with weaker results.
