Summary

Youth Elementary School in Loganville, GA, is a PK-5 school serving 756 students in the Walton County School District, and it has earned a reputation as one of the state's top-performing elementary schools, ranking in the 90th percentile of Georgia schools for the 2025-2026 school year.

What makes Youth Elementary stand out is the consistency of its high achievement across every grade level and student group. In math, proficiency rates run 20-25 percentage points above state averages—for example, 74.1% of 3rd graders and 71.4% of 4th graders are proficient, compared to roughly 48-50% statewide. Science is a particular strength, with 69.3% of 5th graders proficient versus 44.2% statewide. The school also achieves remarkable results with students who often face the biggest challenges: it ranks in the 95th percentile for special education students and the 93rd percentile for Hispanic students. This balanced success means your child is likely to receive strong support no matter their learning needs. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is just 10.3%—far below the district (17.8%) and state (17.7%) averages—and has been cut nearly in half over four years, signaling a welcoming, engaging environment where kids want to show up.

Compared to nearby schools, Youth Elementary's performance is striking. Monroe Elementary, just 7.5 miles away, ranks in the 46th percentile, while Bay Creek Elementary has dropped to the 42nd percentile. Even the closest competitor, Loganville Elementary (85th percentile), trails by 10-15 points in most subjects. Notably, Youth Elementary achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,746) than several lower-performing peers, and it has maintained 5-star ratings in nine of the past ten years. For parents, this points to a school with deeply embedded, effective teaching practices and a culture of excellence that isn't dependent on a single year or a particular group of students.
