Summary

Quitman County Elementary in Georgetown, GA, is a small, rural school serving 200 students in grades PK through 8, where every student qualifies for free or reduced lunch.

This school has a clear story of progress, especially when it comes to getting kids to class. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 29% in 2021-2022 to just 1.6% in the most recent school year—far better than the state average of 17.7% and better than nearby Randolph County Elementary School (13.6%) and Clay County Elementary (8.9%). This improvement coincides with a modest rise in the school’s state ranking, moving from the 2nd percentile to the 6th percentile over the same period. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.1:1 and spends a substantial $23,217 per student—higher than Randolph County’s $20,867 but lower than Clay County’s $32,172.

Academically, the picture is mixed. Math proficiency is generally well below state averages—for example, only 6.3% of 6th graders were proficient in math versus the state’s 40.7%. However, the school isn’t uniformly the lowest in the region. In 5th-grade math, Quitman (23.5%) actually outperformed both Randolph County (17.2%) and Clay County (20.9%). There’s also notable variation by grade and subject: 8th-grade science proficiency (26.7%) nearly matched the state average (29.7%), while 8th-grade social studies (6.7%) lagged far behind. This inconsistency suggests that outcomes may depend heavily on specific teachers or student cohorts. While the Quitman County district ranks in the bottom 5% statewide, the school’s strong attendance gains and pockets of competitive performance offer a foundation to build on.
