Best Public Schools in Conley, GA

Summary:

The city of Conley, Georgia has only one public elementary school, Anderson Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Anderson Elementary appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for the past three years.

Anderson Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state and Clayton County district averages on standardized tests like the Milestones Assessment. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 23.6%, compared to the state average of 38.4% and the district average of 20.5%. The school also has a very high percentage of students (90.48%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.

While Anderson Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2 to 1, its spending per student of $8,746 in 2018-2019 was below the state average. This suggests the school may not be receiving adequate resources or allocating them effectively to support student learning and improve academic outcomes. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Anderson Elementary as a chronically underperforming school that faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
