Elementary Schools in Franklin County

The elementary schools in Franklin County, Georgia serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. This analysis examines the performance and key metrics of the three elementary schools in the district: Carnesville Elementary School, Lavonia Elementary School, and Royston Elementary School.

Among the three schools, Royston Elementary School stands out as the top performer. It has the highest statewide ranking, placing 357th out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools, and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Royston Elementary also had the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, its 5th grade science proficiency rate of 58.1% in 2023-2024 was well above the Franklin County and Georgia averages.

While the three schools generally perform above the Franklin County averages, they often fall short of the statewide Georgia averages in proficiency rates. This suggests there may be room for improvement to reach state-level benchmarks. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at Royston Elementary School, indicate these schools serve predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations, which could be a factor in their academic performance.
