Summary

Stewart County Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lumpkin, Georgia, serving 157 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Stewart County School District, which is ranked 166 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to nearby schools like Randolph County Elementary School and Chattahoochee County Education Center, Stewart County Elementary School consistently performs below the state average on the Georgia Milestones Assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.3% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics and English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 42.6% and 43%, respectively. The school's ranking has also steadily declined over the past 10 years, from 1,049 out of 1,240 Georgia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 924 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025.

One notable factor is that Stewart County Elementary School has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This high poverty level likely contributes to the school's academic challenges and may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the student population. While increasing resources and lowering the student-teacher ratio have not translated into better academic outcomes, a more comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of the school's struggles may be necessary to improve student performance.

I go to that school, and it is a long way from a good school. Don't get me wrong the teachers are great, but the school board is trashed. Their test scores have a learning curve, and 72% of the student body has an iep. if you really went their you would know that they are not even close to beig like they say they are. Close Quote
