of 1,219 Georgia Elementary Schools

Better than 11% of Georgia elementary schools

Summary

Scott Elementary School in Thomasville, GA, serves approximately 379 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Thomasville City school district, where nearly all students (97.63%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Scott Elementary currently ranks in the bottom 11% of Georgia elementary schools, with math proficiency rates ranging from 22.2% in 5th grade to 28% in 4th grade—well below district and state averages. The most significant gap appears in 5th grade science, where only 14.9% of students met proficiency standards compared to 44.2% statewide. Chronic absenteeism affects 22% of students, which is higher than the district (18.6%) and state (17.7%) averages, though this represents an improvement from the previous year. There is some encouraging news: 3rd grade math proficiency has more than doubled since 2022-2023, climbing from 10.9% to 27.8%.

The contrast with Jerger Elementary School, located just 1.3 miles away, is striking. Jerger ranks in the 84th percentile statewide, with 79.8% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to Scott's 27.8%, and serves a student body where only 57.91% qualify for free/reduced lunch. Scott spends $17,302 per student—significantly more than Jerger's $13,308—yet achieves far lower outcomes. When compared to Southside Elementary School in Grady County, which also serves a 100% free/reduced lunch population, Scott's results are similar (27.8% vs. 32.6% in 3rd grade math), suggesting socioeconomic factors play a role but don't tell the whole story. The school's stable low rankings over the past decade, combined with high spending and persistent absenteeism, point to systemic challenges that will require targeted, sustained interventions to improve student outcomes.
