Summary

W.G. Nunn Elementary is a public elementary school in Valdosta, Georgia, serving 940 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Valdosta City School District.

The data analysis indicates that W.G. Nunn Elementary is a struggling school that significantly underperforms compared to its peers in the Valdosta City and Lowndes County districts. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.4% of 3rd graders, 19.1% of 4th graders, and 19.5% of 5th graders at W.G. Nunn were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 15.3% and 34.9% for Valdosta City and Georgia, respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 1148 out of 1238 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While W.G. Nunn Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 students per teacher, this resource has not translated into improved academic performance. The school's consistently poor performance suggests that there may be systemic issues, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school leadership, that need to be addressed. Nearby schools like Clyattville Elementary, Westside Elementary, and Sallas Mahone Elementary consistently outperform W.G. Nunn on the Milestones Assessments and have higher school rankings, suggesting that there is room for improvement at W.G. Nunn Elementary.
