Summary

Woodlawn Elementary School in Chatsworth, GA, serves 498 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Murray County school district, and it has climbed to its best statewide ranking in a decade—406th out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools (67th percentile) with a 3-star rating.

What makes Woodlawn stand out is its strong performance despite serving a student population where 100% qualify for free or reduced lunch—up from 76% just last year. The school's 5th grade science proficiency (50.7%) beats both the district (39.7%) and state (44.2%) averages, and it far outpaces nearby Spring Place Elementary School (24.1%), Coker Elementary School (26.8%), and Eton Elementary School (14.9%). Woodlawn also excels in 3rd grade math (60.7% proficient vs. 48.3% statewide) and maintains a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.3%—well below the district's 22.6% and nearly half the rate at Northwest Elementary School (24.8%). The school invests more per student ($14,481) and keeps class sizes smaller (11.6:1 student-teacher ratio) than any other elementary school in the district.

Woodlawn shows particular strength with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating—its strongest subgroup performance. The school also demonstrates a pattern of strong early-grade math that dips in 4th and 5th grade before rebounding in 6th grade (51.4% proficient). While the most recent English Language Arts scores aren't available yet, historical data shows steady improvement in upper grades, with 6th grade ELA (46.4%) exceeding both district and state averages. For parents, Woodlawn represents a school that is rising against the odds—improving its statewide ranking even as economic challenges among its families have increased dramatically over the past two years.
