Summary

Spring Place Elementary School in Chatsworth, GA, serves approximately 668 students in grades PK through 6 as part of Murray County Schools, and it holds a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the middle of Georgia's elementary schools.

One of the school's standout strengths is its early-grade math performance. In the most recent testing cycle, 3rd and 4th grade math proficiency rates (51.5% and 53.9%) both exceeded state averages, and in 2023-2024, 3rd grade math hit an impressive 60.8%—well above both state and district averages. The school also outperforms its district in English Language Arts across every grade level tested in 2024-2025, with particularly strong gaps in 3rd and 4th grades. However, this early advantage fades by 5th grade, where math proficiency drops to 35.6% (compared to 44.1% statewide) and science proficiency falls to just 24.1%—far below the district's 39.7% and well behind nearby Woodlawn Elementary (50.7%) and Chatsworth Elementary (44.6%). This 5th grade decline has persisted for several years, suggesting a systemic challenge rather than a one-year blip.

Despite serving a student population where 100% qualify for free or reduced lunch, Spring Place has a notable bright spot in attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.5% is better than the state average (17.7%) and dramatically better than the district average (22.6%). The school also operates with relatively efficient spending—$12,526 per student, the lowest among its Murray County peers—yet achieves results comparable to schools spending significantly more. Within the county, Spring Place sits in the middle of the pack, trailing Woodlawn and Chatsworth but ahead of Coker Elementary and Eton Elementary. For parents, the key takeaway is a school that excels in the primary grades and attendance, but faces a clear opportunity for targeted intervention in 5th grade math and science.
