Summary:
The Toombs County school district in Georgia is home to three elementary schools: Lyons Primary School, Toombs Central Elementary School, and Lyons Upper Elementary. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and face similar challenges, with high rates of economic disadvantage across the district.
Among the three schools, Toombs Central Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher than the other two schools in the Statewide School Digger rankings, reaching as high as 185th out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Toombs Central Elementary also outperforms the Toombs County and Georgia averages in various subjects and grade levels, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
While Toombs Central Elementary's strong academic performance is a positive, the other two schools, Lyons Primary School and Lyons Upper Elementary, have lower proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts. This disparity suggests potential areas for improvement and targeted interventions across the district. Additionally, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.45% to 86.71%, indicate significant economic challenges faced by the schools and their communities.
