Summary:
The Oglethorpe County school district in Georgia is home to two elementary schools: Oglethorpe County Primary School (grades PK-2) and Oglethorpe County Elementary School (grades 3-5). Both schools have received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating similar performance levels.
While the schools share a comparable rating, there are some notable differences. Oglethorpe County Primary School has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 11.3, compared to 12.0 at Oglethorpe County Elementary School. Additionally, Oglethorpe County Elementary School serves a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (62.61%) compared to Oglethorpe County Primary School (54.53%), suggesting a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
An area of concern is the declining performance at Oglethorpe County Elementary School, with proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment dropping in recent years and falling below the 2023-2024 projections. This trend may warrant further investigation and the implementation of targeted interventions to improve student learning. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the two schools ($11,831 for Oglethorpe County Primary School vs. $9,942 for Oglethorpe County Elementary School) is worth exploring to understand the potential impact on the schools' ability to provide resources and support for their students.
