These schools exhibit a range of academic performance, with Robinson Elementary School standing out as the highest-performing, consistently ranking among the top 25% of Georgia elementary schools. In contrast, Riverview Elementary School has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its lower academic outcomes compared to its peers.

The school's strengths are particularly evident in its 5th-grade performance, where it exceeds the Dawson County and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Meanwhile, Kilough Elementary School has also demonstrated excellence, ranking 254 out of 1,244 Georgia elementary schools in 2021-2022 and excelling in 5th-grade English Language Arts and Science.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation among the schools, with Riverview Elementary School spending the most per student and having the lowest student-teacher ratio, while other schools in the district have lower spending and higher ratios. These differences in funding and staffing may contribute to the observed variations in academic performance across the Dawson County elementary schools.
