Acgc Elementary Grades 5 And 6 has an enrollment of 130 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.8. The school's academic performance is mixed, with math proficiency rates slightly above the state average but below the district average, while reading proficiency rates are above both the district and state averages. The school's science proficiency rate is notably higher than both the district and state averages.

Overall, Acgc Elementary Grades 5 And 6 appears to be a solid middle school with some areas of strength, such as reading and science proficiency, but also room for improvement in math performance. The low student-teacher ratio may be an advantage in addressing the needs of the school's economically disadvantaged student population.
