Summary

T.G. Scott Elementary School in Forsyth, GA, serves 835 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly-rated Monroe County School District, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 88th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional and consistent academic performance. In the most recent testing cycle, 3rd grade math proficiency reached 70.9%—nearly 23 percentage points above the state average—and 5th grade science proficiency hit 66.7%, the highest among comparable schools in the region. These results are not a one-year fluke; T.G. Scott has maintained a 4-star rating and ranked between the 80th and 85th percentile every year for the past decade. The school also excels in supporting all learners, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide for special education students and showing balanced achievement across genders. Perhaps most tellingly, the school achieves these outcomes while spending less per student ($13,319) than several nearby schools that post far lower scores, including Union Elementary School ($16,183) and Katherine B. Sutton Elementary School ($14,147).

Within its own district, T.G. Scott is clearly the top performer. Its 5th grade math proficiency (60.3%) outpaces Samuel E. Hubbard Elementary School by nearly 25 points and Sutton by 22 points. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.8%—less than half the state average of 17.7%—which has dropped by 40% over two years, signaling strong family engagement and effective attendance initiatives. While English Language Arts scores are not yet available for this release, the school's consistent track record in math and science, combined with its efficient use of resources and supportive school culture, makes it a standout choice for families in the Forsyth area.
