Public Grades PK, KG-5

1198^th

of 1,222 Georgia Elementary Schools

Better than 2% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Sue Reynolds Elementary School in Augusta, GA, serves 652 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Richmond County school district, and it currently holds a 0-star rating, ranking in the bottom 2% of Georgia elementary schools.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges. In the most recent testing year, math proficiency rates were 23.7% for 3rd grade, 11.2% for 4th grade, and 9.4% for 5th grade—all well below state averages of 48.3%, 50.1%, and 44.1%, respectively. Science proficiency for 5th grade was just 5.2%, compared to 44.2% statewide. A concerning pattern is the declining trajectory as students advance: 3rd graders perform notably better than 5th graders, suggesting students fall further behind in upper grades. The contrast with nearby schools in Columbia County is stark—Martinez Elementary (2.56 miles away) achieves 56.8% proficiency in 3rd grade math and ranks in the 72nd percentile, while Brookwood Elementary (2.72 miles away) ranks in the 80th percentile. Even within Richmond County, Belair Elementary (1.57 miles away) posts 45.4% proficiency in 3rd grade math, more than double Sue Reynolds' rate.

There are some bright spots. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 22.2% in 2023-2024 to 15.7% in 2025-2026—now below the state average of 17.7% and far better than the district average of 30.3%. This improvement is especially notable compared to nearby schools like Bayvale Elementary and Barton Chapel Elementary, both with rates above 37%. The school also spends $14,446 per student—more than Martinez Elementary ($12,694)—yet achieves far lower outcomes, suggesting that increased funding alone hasn't translated into academic gains. While the school's ranking has declined steadily from the 18th percentile in 2020-2021, the attendance improvement demonstrates that meaningful change is possible and could serve as a foundation for broader academic efforts.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, July 16, 2012

I would love to say that this is a great school because I believe in public education, however, I have had nothing but terrible experiences in the two years my daughter attended. The teachers are burnt out and stop teaching after Spring Break if not sooner. My daughter watched movies a lot of the time or spend the day coloring. Not exactly what I expected for 1st grade. When I spoke with the teacher about it, she ignored it and continued with the same process.

The Principal is not any better. My daughter was being bullied because she was the minority. When I brought it to the attention of the principal, she made my daughter apologize to the girls bullying her. Completely unacceptable.

If I had friends moving into the area, I would recommend avoiding this school. I am actually moving to a new house to avoid it. Close Quote
