Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in Turner County, Georgia - Turner County Elementary School. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 827 and 1115 out of 1244-1248 schools over the past three school years.
Turner County Elementary School's performance on the Milestones Assessment, Georgia's standardized test, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 11% to 31% in English Language Arts and 16.4% to 25% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 37% to 48.2% and 41% to 48.1%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students receiving this benefit in the 2022-2023 school year.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1 in the 2022-2023 school year, the consistently low academic performance suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The high poverty levels among the student population may contribute to these challenges and could require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the community.
