Summary:
Zip code 30810, serving the Gibson, Georgia area, is home to just one elementary school: Glascock County Elementary School, which educates students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade with a total enrollment of 276 students.
Glascock County Elementary School has shown remarkable recent improvement, jumping from the 41st percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 64th percentile in 2025-2026—a leap of nearly 300 ranking positions. This surge is driven by exceptional mathematics performance, where the school now exceeds Georgia state averages in every grade level tested. Third-grade math proficiency stands at 65.2% compared to the state's 48.3%, a 16.9-point advantage, while 4th and 5th grades also outperform state averages by 2.0 and 4.5 points respectively. However, the school struggles significantly in science, with only 25.7% of 5th graders proficient versus the state's 44.2%—an 18.5-point gap. English Language Arts scores from the most recent available data (2024-2025) also trail the state, with the largest deficit in 4th grade at 15.1 points below average.
The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 59.78% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, yet still achieves above-average math results—a noteworthy accomplishment. Chronic absenteeism runs at 21.3%, higher than the state's 17.7% but better than the Glascock County district average of 23.4%. With per-student spending of $15,495 and a favorable 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio, the school has solid resources. The dramatic contrast between strong math scores and weaker science and ELA performance suggests an instructional imbalance that could be addressed to build on the school's recent momentum. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment with clear strengths in mathematics and recent upward trajectory, though science and reading remain areas needing attention.
