Summary:
The city of Ailey, Georgia has only one public elementary school, Montgomery County Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 453 students. The school is part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 95 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Montgomery County Elementary School has consistently performed below average on statewide assessments, ranking in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past three years. The school's test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages across grades 3-5. Additionally, a high percentage (94.92%) of students at the school qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high spending per student of $11,344, which is above the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1, which could be a potential strength. However, these factors alone do not seem to be translating into improved student outcomes, suggesting a need for more targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the root causes of the school's underperformance.
