Summary:
The 31512 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Ambrose Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 405 students. Ambrose Elementary is part of the Coffee County school district, which is ranked 119 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ambrose Elementary School's academic performance has been consistently low, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 669 out of 1,238 Georgia elementary schools in 2024-2025 (2 out of 5 stars) and 699 out of 1,242 in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars). The school's proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment are generally lower than the Coffee County district and Georgia state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, Ambrose Elementary's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 38.7%, compared to 28.1% for Coffee County and 34.9% for Georgia.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $10,266 for the 2018-2019 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1 for the 2023-2024 school year, these resources do not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 82.47% in 2023-2024, suggests that Ambrose Elementary serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which can present additional challenges in terms of student learning and achievement. Further investigation would be needed to understand the specific factors contributing to the school's underperformance and to identify and address the issues that are hindering student success.
