Summary:
The city of Ambrose, Georgia has only one public elementary school, Ambrose Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 396 students. The school is part of the Coffee County school district, which is ranked 125 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ambrose Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, has been consistently below the state and county averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels and school years. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 21.4% (4th grade) to 41.5% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 37% (4th grade) and 48.2% (5th grade). Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 35% (3rd grade) to 44.6% (4th grade), compared to the state averages of 45.4% (3rd grade) and 48.1% (4th grade).
The school's challenges may be influenced by factors such as limited resources and socioeconomic challenges. The school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 96.46% in the 2022-2023 school year, and the per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,266. However, the school's 5th-grade science performance, which exceeds the state and county averages, suggests that the school may have the potential to improve in other subject areas as well.
