Summary

Johnson County Elementary School in Wrightsville, GA, serves approximately 508 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Johnson County district. The school has seen its statewide ranking slip over the past five years, from the 65th percentile in 2020-2021 to its current 31st percentile (2 stars) for 2025-2026. All students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending of $13,338 is slightly above the state average. The student-teacher ratio of 14.7:1 is moderate compared to nearby schools.

In the most recent testing cycle, math proficiency lagged significantly behind state averages at every grade level. Third graders posted a 28.6% proficiency rate versus 48.3% statewide, fourth graders hit 34.5% versus 50.1%, and fifth graders reached 35.9% versus 44.1%. The year-over-year decline is especially sharp in 3rd and 4th grade math, which dropped by roughly 10 and 15 percentage points respectively. There is also a notable gender gap: female students rank at the 45th percentile statewide, while male students rank at just the 21st percentile. Chronic absenteeism has risen to 20.9%, above the state average of 17.7% and well above nearby schools like Ridge Road Elementary School (7.8%) and East Laurens Elementary School (10.6%).

Compared to nearby schools, Johnson County Elementary sits in the middle of the pack but trails significantly in math. For example, Ridge Road Elementary School posted 52.7% proficiency in 3rd grade math, and East Laurens Elementary School reached 67.1%—more than double Johnson County's 28.6%. However, the school's 5th grade science performance (34.6%) is competitive with nearby schools, and 5th grade math (35.9%) is closer to the state average than its lower grades. Spending is similar to Ridge Road Elementary School ($13,362), yet outcomes differ substantially, suggesting that resource levels alone don't explain the gap. With rising absenteeism and a steady downward trend, the school appears at a crossroads, though the relatively stronger performance of 5th graders offers a potential model for improvement in earlier grades.
