Summary

Morgan County Elementary School in Madison, GA, serves 842 students in grades 3-5 and is part of the Morgan County district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 84th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional attendance and strong math performance. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 6.9%—less than half the district rate (10.8%) and far below the state average (17.7%). In fact, the school has kept absenteeism roughly 40-50% below state averages for five straight years, even during the post-pandemic spike. That consistency likely fuels academic resilience. In math, 3rd graders hit 71% proficiency versus 48.3% statewide, and 5th graders reached 58.7% versus 44.1% statewide. Science also beats the state (50.9% vs. 44.2%). While 4th grade math (51.7%) is closer to the state average, the overall program is solid. The school has never dropped below the 71st percentile in state rankings over the past decade and currently sits at 286th out of 1,219 elementary schools (77th percentile).

Compared to nearby schools, Morgan County Elementary delivers strong results at a lower cost—$13,029 per student versus $16,451 at Putnam County Elementary School and $18,933 at Mansfield Elementary School. Demographically similar schools like Harmony Elementary School (19.3% chronic absenteeism) and Social Circle Elementary School (15.7%) lag far behind in attendance. Even affluent Oconee County schools only edge out Morgan County on attendance (3.3-5.4%). While 4th grade ELA improved nearly 9 points over two years (29.4% to 38.1%), note that current ELA scores are not yet available—they release in December. Overall, this school offers stable, above-average academics, excellent attendance, and efficient spending, making it a strong choice for families in the Madison area.
