Summary

Rabun County Elementary School in Tiger, GA, serves 662 students in grades 3 through 6 and is part of the highly rated Rabun County district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 89th percentile statewide.

This is a school on the rise. For the 2025-2026 school year, Rabun County Elementary jumped 89 spots in the state rankings to 363rd out of 1,219 elementary schools (70th percentile)—its best showing in nearly a decade. The standout story is 6th grade math: proficiency soared from 31.3% last year to 57.9% this year, a remarkable 17.2 points above the state average. In fact, math proficiency now exceeds state averages in every grade level, from 3rd grade (54% vs. 48.3%) through 6th grade. The school also made extraordinary progress on attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 25.4% in 2021-2022 to just 9.1%—well below the state rate of 17.7%. This improvement is especially notable given that 91% of students now qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 58% just two years ago. The school is clearly becoming more effective at serving an increasingly economically diverse population.

Compared to nearby schools, Rabun County Elementary holds its own. Its 6th grade math performance (57.9%) exceeds anything shown by Hazel Grove Elementary (which ranks slightly higher overall but only serves PK-5), and its 5th grade science proficiency (46.1%) far outpaces Woodville Elementary's 29.4%. While Demorest Elementary matches Rabun County in 3rd grade math, it lags in 4th grade (44.3% vs. 51.7%). One area to watch is science, where scores dipped slightly, and the school's overall performance for White students (37th percentile) trails its strong results for Hispanic and special education students. Still, with improving attendance, rising rankings, and a clear math turnaround, Rabun County Elementary is a school worth watching.
