Summary:

Zip code 30288 in Conley, Georgia, is served by a single school: Anderson Elementary School, a PK-5 school in the Clayton County School District with 420 students.

Anderson Elementary serves a student body where 100% of families participate in the free/reduced lunch program, reflecting a high-poverty environment. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $17,473 per pupil and maintaining a favorable 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio. Despite these resources, the school consistently ranks in the bottom fifth of Georgia elementary schools, currently sitting at the 18th percentile statewide with a 1-star rating. However, there is a positive trajectory: the school has improved from the 11th percentile in 2023-2024 to its current standing. The school's strongest subject is 5th-grade science, where 33.8% of students met proficiency in 2025-2026—outperforming the district average of 26.3% by 7.5 points. In the most recent ELA data available (2024-2025), 4th-grade students also exceeded the district average (23.6% vs. 22.8%). Mathematics results are mixed: 5th-grade math improved by 7 points year-over-year to 22.6%, while 3rd and 4th grades saw declines to 16.4% and 28.5%, respectively.

The most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism, which affects 26.6% of students—nearly identical to the district rate (28.0%) but 50% higher than the state average (17.7%). This likely hinders academic progress. Across most subjects, the school trails state proficiency averages by 15 to 30 percentage points, with 3rd-grade math showing the largest gap (16.4% vs. 48.3% statewide). While the school benefits from strong funding and small class sizes, the combination of high poverty and attendance challenges suggests these factors play a significant role in outcomes. For parents, Anderson Elementary offers a dedicated, well-resourced environment with pockets of strength in science and 4th-grade ELA, but families should be aware of the academic gaps and attendance issues that remain key barriers to improvement.
