Summary:
The Valdosta City school district in Georgia contains 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole performs significantly below the state average on standardized tests, there are notable differences in the academic performance of individual schools within the district.
At the top of the group is Sallas Mahone Elementary, which has the highest test scores across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the best 5th grade Science proficiency rates. However, even Sallas Mahone is ranked relatively low statewide at 883 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools. At the other end, W.G. Nunn Elementary has the lowest performance with the weakest test scores and the lowest statewide ranking of 1,052 out of 1,248.
The remaining 3 schools - S.L. Mason Elementary, J.L. Lomax Elementary, and Pinevale Elementary - fall somewhere in the middle, with test scores and rankings that are better than W.G. Nunn but not as strong as Sallas Mahone. Across all 5 schools, there are high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges facing the Valdosta City school community.
