Elementary Schools in Greene County

The Greene County school district in Georgia is home to two elementary schools: Lake Oconee Charter and Greene County Primary School. While both serve elementary-aged students, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the two institutions.

Lake Oconee Charter stands out as a high-performing school, ranking in the top 197 out of 1,248 elementary schools in Georgia and maintaining a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students consistently outperform the Greene County district and the state of Georgia in Milestones Assessment tests, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points higher. Additionally, Lake Oconee Charter boasts an impressive 95.4% four-year graduation rate while spending less per student than Greene County Primary School.

In contrast, Greene County Primary School lags behind, with its students consistently scoring lower on Milestones Assessments compared to the district and state averages. The school's performance suggests room for improvement, and understanding the factors contributing to this gap could help the school develop strategies to enhance student outcomes. The stark difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools (24.89% at Lake Oconee Charter vs. 97.29% at Greene County Primary School) suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the schools' performance, though further investigation would be needed to confirm this.
