Summary

Johnson County Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wrightsville, Georgia, serving 512 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Johnson County School District.

While the school has a relatively high per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the state average on Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 24.7%, compared to the state average of 34.9%, and its 5th grade Science proficiency rate was 32.8%, compared to the state average of 43.8%. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.42% to 95.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Ridge Road Primary School (95.18%) and East Laurens Primary School (95.28%).

The analysis of Johnson County Elementary School's data reveals several areas of concern, particularly in the school's academic performance and its ability to effectively serve its high-needs student population. The school's performance on the Milestones Assessments has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 422 out of 1,214 Georgia elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 717 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to improve its standing and provide a quality education for its students.
