Elementary Schools in Emanuel County

The three elementary schools located in Emanuel County, Georgia serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Twin City Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with a statewide ranking of 337 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Swainsboro Elementary School and Swainsboro Primary School are ranked much lower at 870 and 861, respectively, and both have a 2-star rating.

The data reveals significant performance differences between the schools. Twin City Elementary consistently outperforms the Emanuel County and Georgia averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Swainsboro Elementary, on the other hand, lags behind the county and state averages in most subject areas and grade levels. All three schools have extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.18% to 98.27%, indicating that they serve predominantly low-income communities.

The differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios suggest that the schools may have varying levels of funding and resource allocation, which could contribute to the performance disparities. Further investigation would be needed to identify the specific factors driving these differences, such as teacher quality, curriculum, or school leadership. Targeted interventions and resource allocation may be necessary to support the lower-performing schools and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in Emanuel County.
