Summary:

Zip code 30427, encompassing the Glennville, Georgia area, is served by a single elementary school, South Tattnall Elementary School, which educates students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Tattnall County School District.

South Tattnall Elementary serves a student body where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school maintains a favorable 11.6:1 student-teacher ratio and spends $14,832 per student. The school's state ranking dropped significantly from the 40th percentile (2 stars) in 2024-2025 to the 21st percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026, falling 224 positions. This decline is reflected in academic metrics, with math proficiency dropping across all grade levels—3rd grade fell from 41.5% to 37.2%, 4th grade from 32.0% to 30.4%, and 5th grade from 28.2% to 26.5%. The most dramatic change was in 5th grade science, which plummeted from 30.1% to 15.7% proficient, a 14.4-point drop that now places the school 28.5 points behind the state average. The gap with state averages has widened considerably in math as well, with 3rd grade now 11.1 points behind, 4th grade 19.7 points behind, and 5th grade 17.6 points behind.

Despite these challenges, the school shows relative strength in English Language Arts, outperforming its district across all grade levels (31% vs. 27% in 3rd, 28% vs. 25.5% in 4th, and 35% vs. 33.2% in 5th). The school also maintains a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.4%, which is better than both the district (18.3%) and state (17.7%) averages—a positive indicator for a high-poverty school. However, a clear pattern emerges where proficiency declines as students advance in grade level, suggesting cumulative learning gaps. While the school outperformed its district in several 2024-2025 metrics, it now falls below district averages in 2025-2026 math and science, indicating the decline is specific to this school rather than a district-wide trend. Parents should note that targeted support in STEM subjects, particularly at upper elementary levels, may be beneficial.
