Summary

Pinevale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Valdosta, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with 572 students. Despite having higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios than other Valdosta City schools, Pinevale Elementary consistently underperforms on academic measures, ranking in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools.

Pinevale Elementary struggles academically, with only 9.9% of 3rd graders, 14.7% of 4th graders, and 22.2% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 15.3%, 18%, and 25.6% for Valdosta City and 34.9%, 39.3%, and 43% for the state. The school also has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, the Lowndes County elementary schools, which are outside the Valdosta City district, significantly outperform Pinevale Elementary and the other Valdosta City schools on academic measures, with 35-73% of students proficient or better in ELA, Math, and Science in 2024-2025. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to Pinevale's persistent low performance, which has remained in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools for many years.
