Elementary Schools in Fannin County

The Fannin County school district in Georgia is home to three elementary schools: West Fannin Elementary School, Blue Ridge Elementary School, and East Fannin Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities for the local community.

Among the three schools, West Fannin Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, consistently ranking above the other two schools in the Statewide School Digger rankings. It has also outperformed the Fannin County and Georgia averages in several key Milestones Assessment test scores, including 5th-grade English Language Arts and 3rd-grade Mathematics. Additionally, West Fannin Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

While Blue Ridge Elementary School has the highest spending per student at $13,442, it did not necessarily have the strongest academic performance compared to the other two schools. This suggests that factors beyond just spending per student, such as resource allocation, teaching quality, and school leadership, may play a significant role in a school's academic outcomes. Interestingly, the schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, West Fannin Elementary School and East Fannin Elementary School, did not necessarily perform worse than the school with a lower rate, indicating that socioeconomic factors may not be the sole determinant of a school's academic performance.
