Best Public Schools in Dearing, GA

Summary:

Dearing, Georgia is home to a single public elementary school, Dearing Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 441 students. While there are no other schools in the immediate Dearing area to directly compare it to, the data suggests Dearing Elementary is performing reasonably well compared to the broader McDuffie County district and the state of Georgia as a whole.

Dearing Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the county and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades. However, the school's 4th grade proficiency rates in both subjects are lower than the county and state. Additionally, the school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate is below the county and state averages. The school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 87.76%, indicating significant economic challenges for its student population.

While Dearing Elementary School is ranked 516 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its performance appears to be somewhat volatile, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating over the past few years. With only one school in the Dearing area, it is difficult to draw broader conclusions about the quality of education in the city. Expanding the data set to include more schools in the region would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the educational landscape.
