Summary

Jenkins County Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Millen, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 567 students. The school is part of the Jenkins County School District, which is ranked 118 out of 206 districts in Georgia and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Jenkins County Elementary School consistently underperforms the state average in Milestones Assessment scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates were 36.3% in ELA, 26.4% in Math, and 24.2% in Science, compared to the state averages of 43%, 42.6%, and 43.8%, respectively. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with rates ranging from 93.32% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school's spending per student has been relatively low, ranging from $9,775 to $10,384 over the past few years, which is below the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Portal Elementary School in Bulloch County, Jenkins County Elementary School generally underperforms in terms of test scores and overall school rankings. This suggests a persistent challenge in providing quality education to its students, which may require additional resources and support to address the needs of the economically disadvantaged population it serves.
