Summary

Annie Belle Clark Elementary School in Tifton, GA, serves approximately 785 students in grades PK through 5 and is the largest elementary school in the Tift County district, with a student body where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Annie Belle Clark has shown steady, meaningful progress over the past decade, climbing from a 1-star rating and 22nd percentile ranking in 2013-2014 to a consistent 3-star rating and 51st percentile statewide ranking today. The school's standout strength is 3rd-grade math, where 55.7% of students scored proficient—well above both the district (46.9%) and state (48.3%) averages. This early-grade success, however, doesn't fully carry through to upper grades: 5th-grade math proficiency (40%) trails state averages, and the school's 5th-grade science scores have fluctuated significantly, from a low of 24.8% to a high of 43.7% in a single year before settling at 29.5% most recently. Chronic absenteeism (21.4%) is below the district average (24.0%) but remains above the state rate (17.7%).

Compared to nearby schools, Annie Belle Clark sits in the middle of the pack within Tift County. It outperforms Northside Elementary School, Charles Spencer Elementary School, and Matt Wilson Elementary School in overall ranking, but trails Len Lastinger Elementary School and G.O. Bailey Elementary School. Notably, the school achieves its results with the lowest per-student spending in the district ($12,275) and the highest student-teacher ratio (15.9), making its mid-tier performance particularly efficient. The school also serves its student subgroups evenly, with all demographic groups performing within a narrow band around the 50th percentile statewide—a sign of consistent instruction across the student body.
