Summary

Danielsville Elementary School in Danielsville, GA, serves approximately 709 students in grades PK-5 within the Madison County district, a school that has seen its student population shift significantly in recent years.

Danielsville Elementary has a strong story to tell about attendance. Chronic absenteeism has been cut by more than half, dropping from 26.4% in 2021-2022 to just 12.8% in 2025-2026. That's well below both the district average (18.2%) and the state average (17.7%), a remarkable achievement for a school where 90% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch—up from about 61% just two years prior. Academically, science is a standout subject: 64% of 5th graders scored proficient in 2024-2025, beating the district by 11 points and the state by 20 points. Math proficiency is solid but shows a pattern of declining as grade levels rise, from 51.1% in 3rd grade to 42.5% in 5th grade (2025-2026). The school overall holds a 3-star rating, ranking in the 61st-66th percentile statewide.

Compared to nearby schools, Danielsville performs strongly despite serving a high-poverty population. For example, in 5th grade math, its 42.5% proficiency rate is more than double Gaines Elementary School's 19% and nearly triple Howard B. Stroud Elementary School's 15.5%—both in Clarke County. Within its own district, Ila Elementary School ranks higher (85th percentile) with stronger test scores, despite spending less per student. Notably, per-student spending at Danielsville has nearly tripled to $16,644, yet the school's rank has stayed flat—though much of that funding may be fueling the impressive attendance gains. For parents, this is a school that's working hard to support a changing student body, with clear wins in attendance and science, and room to grow in upper-grade math.
