Summary:
Screven Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 209 students in grades PK-5 in Screven, Georgia, which is part of the Wayne County School District. While the district is ranked 93 out of 203 in the state, Screven Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate, ranging from a high of 220 out of 1,214 Georgia elementary schools in 2020-2021 to a low of 720 out of 1,248 in the current 2023-2024 school year.
Screven Elementary's test scores on the Georgia Milestones Assessment are generally below the state and county averages, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, only 36.7% of 3rd graders, 27.3% of 4th graders, and 31.3% of 5th graders scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2% respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.68% to 75.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Despite spending more per student, ranging from $10,671 to $11,648, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11-11.3 students per teacher, Screven Elementary's academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with the higher resources.
When comparing Screven Elementary to the nearby schools in the Wayne County and Pierce County districts, the school consistently underperforms on test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. This suggests Screven Elementary may be facing unique challenges that are not being addressed effectively, and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students could be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles.
