Elementary Schools in Butts County

The three elementary schools located in Butts County, Georgia serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share some similarities, such as high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, they also exhibit distinct differences in their academic performance and statewide rankings.

Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, ranking 669 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools and boasting the strongest proficiency rates in 4th grade math (55.2%) and 5th grade English Language Arts (45.5%). In contrast, Stark Elementary School and Jackson Elementary School are ranked lower, with Stark showing consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years.

Despite the differences in performance, all three schools in Butts County face similar challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science generally falling below state averages. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.23% to 83.33%, suggests that the schools may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be impacting academic achievement. However, the data also presents an opportunity for the district to identify and implement targeted interventions to support student learning and improve overall school performance.
