Summary

Screven Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Screven, Georgia, which is part of the Wayne County School District. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 220 out of 1,214 Georgia elementary schools in 2020-2021 to a projected 730 out of 1,238 in the 2024-2025 school year.

Screven Elementary consistently underperforms the Wayne County and Georgia state averages on standardized tests, with its 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate projected to be just 20% in 2024-2025, compared to 30.9% for Wayne County and 34.9% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.28% in 2023-2024 to 75.6% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than other nearby schools in the district. Despite spending more per student ($11,648 in 2018-2019) and having a lower student-teacher ratio (10.7 in 2023-2024) than the other Wayne County elementary schools analyzed, Screven Elementary's academic performance continues to lag behind.

Interestingly, the nearby Odum Elementary School, which is also in the Wayne County district, consistently outperforms Screven Elementary on test scores and statewide rankings, despite serving a similar demographic. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the differences in academic performance between the two schools.
