Summary

Byron Elementary School in Byron, GA, serves approximately 706 students in grades PK-5 within the Peach County district. The school has climbed steadily in statewide rankings over the past two years, moving from the 34th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026—its best performance in nearly a decade. This upward trend is especially notable given that 100% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 60% the previous year, and the district itself ranks in the 29th percentile statewide.

One of the school's standout achievements is in 5th grade science, where 46.5% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026—a dramatic jump from 25.5% the year before and now above both the district (38.3%) and state (44.2%) averages. Math scores are also improving, with 4th and 5th graders outperforming their district peers. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 27.2% in 2021-2022 to 16.0% in 2025-2026, now better than the state average of 17.7%. This improvement in attendance likely supports the academic gains. The school also operates efficiently, spending $12,369 per student—notably less than nearby Shirley Hills Elementary ($15,179), Porter Elementary ($16,330), and Heard Elementary ($14,744)—while maintaining a 15:1 student-teacher ratio.

Compared to nearby schools, Byron Elementary's 49th percentile ranking exceeds Northside Elementary (32nd percentile) in the higher-ranked Houston County district and is close to Centerville Elementary (52nd percentile). Within its own district, Kay Road Elementary ranks slightly higher (54th percentile), but Byron achieves similar science results with a larger student body and lower per-student spending. The school's main challenge remains 4th grade math, which, while improving from 18.8% to 42.8% proficiency over two years, still trails the state average. With continued focus on math and closing subgroup gaps, Byron Elementary appears well-positioned to reach the 3-star threshold in the coming years.
