Summary

Wheeler County Elementary School is a public elementary school in Alamo, Georgia, serving 421 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wheeler County School District, which is ranked 66 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wheeler County Elementary consistently underperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, the school stands out for its exceptional performance in Science, with 5th-grade students achieving a 68% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 43.8%. However, the school's extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 100% in 2023-2024, suggests the school serves a community with significant economic challenges. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student over the years, the continued underperformance in core academic areas indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, Treutlen Elementary School consistently outperforms Wheeler County Elementary in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while Montgomery County Elementary School and Telfair County Elementary School have similar performance profiles to Wheeler County Elementary. These comparisons highlight the unique challenges faced by Wheeler County Elementary and the need for targeted interventions to address the school's academic performance.
