Elementary Schools in Thomas County

The elementary schools in Thomas County, Georgia serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data set provided information on three schools in the area: Garrison-Pilcher Elementary School, Cross Creek Elementary School, and Hand In Hand Primary.

Among the three schools, Cross Creek Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Georgia elementary schools and outperforming the Thomas County and state averages in 4th grade math proficiency. This school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, which may contribute to its academic success.

While Hand In Hand Primary spends the most per student at $14,635, it is unclear if this higher spending translates to better academic outcomes, as detailed test score data is not provided. All three schools have very high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 92.81% to 92.83%, indicating a high-poverty student population across the district.
