Summary:

There are 10 elementary schools serving grades PK through 5 in zip code 30906 in Augusta, Georgia, all part of the Richmond County school district, where every school has 100% of students receiving free/reduced lunch and all currently hold a 0-star rating.

For parents, the standout school in this area is Gracewood Elementary School, which has the best state ranking (1126th of 1219), the most consistent math scores across grade levels (ranging from 16.1% to 20.8% proficient), and the highest 3rd grade ELA score from the prior year at 25.9%. Tobacco Road Elementary School is the most improved, jumping 66 spots in the state ranking and showing a remarkable 16.4 percentage point increase in 4th grade math proficiency (from 8.7% to 25.1%). Goshen Elementary School stands out for attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 12.6%—less than half the district average of 30.3% and the only school in the area below the state average. On the other end, Glenn Hills Elementary School spends the most per student ($16,811) but has the lowest 4th grade math score in the entire dataset at just 1.7% proficient.

Chronic absenteeism appears to be a key factor in this area, as the schools with the lowest rates (Goshen and Tobacco Road) tend to perform better academically, while Wilkinson Gardens Elementary School has the highest absenteeism (41.6%) and struggles with only 8.5% science proficiency. Grade-level performance is highly inconsistent within schools—for example, Meadowbrook Elementary School has the highest science score in the area (26.0%) but only 7.9% proficiency in 3rd grade math. Science is a relative bright spot, with Meadowbrook, Gracewood, and Goshen all exceeding the district average in 5th grade science. However, the gap with state averages is substantial, with 4th grade math proficiency averaging just 14.1% compared to the state's 50.1%. Spending does not correlate with outcomes, and even the strongest schools fall well below state averages, highlighting the systemic challenges facing this high-poverty community.
