Summary

Lee County Elementary School in Leesburg, GA, serves 557 students in grades 3–5 and is part of the highly rated Lee County district, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide.

This school is a consistently strong performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 79th percentile of Georgia elementary schools. Its biggest academic strength is mathematics, especially in 3rd grade, where 67% of students are proficient—a 19-point advantage over the state average. Even in 5th grade math, the school's weakest subject, students still outperform the state by 10 points. The school also excels at getting kids to class: its chronic absenteeism rate is just 9.4%, far below the state average of 17.7%. This strong attendance culture likely supports the school's steady results. Notably, the school has maintained its performance even as the share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch has risen from 51% to 63% over the past two years. The school also achieves strong outcomes for African American students, who rank in the 81st percentile statewide.

Compared to nearby schools, Lee County Elementary stands out.

Within its own district, it is closely matched with Twin Oaks Elementary, though Lee County excels in 3rd grade math while Twin Oaks leads in 5th grade math. The main areas for growth are 5th grade math and support for special education students, but overall, this is a reliable, efficient school that has ranked between the 70th and 86th percentiles statewide for a decade.
