Summary

Randolph County Elementary School in Cuthbert, GA, serves approximately 294 students in grades PK-5 within the Randolph County district, a rural, high-poverty community where all students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school is on a clear upward trajectory. After ranking in the 6th percentile statewide in 2020-2021, it has climbed to the 29th percentile in the most recent 2025-2026 data—a 17-point jump in just two years. This progress coincides with a significant increase in per-student spending (from $15,257 to $20,867) and a dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which fell from 31.9% to 13.6%—now better than the state average of 17.7%. The most striking academic highlight is 4th grade math, where 57.1% of students are proficient, exceeding the state average of 50.1% and more than doubling the previous year's rate. However, math proficiency in 3rd grade (26.3%) and 5th grade (17.2%) lags well behind state averages, suggesting the 4th grade success may reflect a particularly strong cohort or targeted instruction. The school also shows notable strength in serving its African American students, ranking in the 48th percentile for that subgroup—well above the school's overall ranking.

Compared to nearby schools, Randolph County Elementary sits in the middle of the pack. Stewart County Elementary (573rd) and Calhoun County Elementary (662nd) rank higher, while Clay County Elementary (779th) and Quitman County Elementary (1,147th) rank lower. Notably, Randolph County has the largest enrollment of these schools but also a higher student-teacher ratio (16.8) than its rural peers (ranging from 8.4 to 12.1). While 5th grade science showed promise in 2024-2025 (51.4% proficiency, above the state), recent scores dipped to 28.6%. Overall, this is a school making meaningful, measurable progress, though consistency across grade levels remains the key challenge ahead.
