Summary:
The city of Plainville, Georgia has only one school serving grades PK-5: Swain Elementary School. This school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 509 out of 1,244 Georgia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 653 out of 1,248 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Swain Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with the school outperforming the Gordon County and Georgia state averages in 4th grade Math proficiency in 2023-2024, but struggling to match the state's performance in other subjects and grade levels. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 65.67% suggests a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support.
With a spending per student of $10,350 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is lower than the national average, Swain Elementary may face limitations in providing adequate resources and support for its students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.9 for the 2022-2023 school year is relatively low, but further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall outcomes and ensure a high-quality education for all its students.
