Summary

Fox Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Georgia, serving 350 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Muscogee County School District, which is ranked 155 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fox Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below the Muscogee County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 3.2% of 3rd graders, 8.3% of 4th graders, and 11.1% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 24.6%, 27.1%, and 31.9% for Muscogee County, respectively. The school's math and science proficiency rates are also extremely low, with only 2.8% of 5th graders proficient or better in science. Additionally, Fox Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2023-2024 school year.

In contrast, the nearby Britt David Elementary Computer Magnet Academy, a public magnet school, consistently ranks in the top 1% of Georgia elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates in all subject areas compared to Fox Elementary and the Muscogee County district as a whole. This stark difference in performance suggests that Fox Elementary may need significant intervention and support to improve student outcomes.

Stay far away from this FILTHY school! My child received IMPETIGO! The principal Ms. Scarborough hdidn’t care at all! She is very non chalant and it’s sickening!!! She also expressed how they wash all of the pre-k children’s blankets at the school which is why they do not send them home! That is not apart of state regulations!!!! This school doesn’t deserve 1 star!!! Close Quote
