The school is part of the Chattooga County School District, which is ranked 151 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Leroy Massey Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools, ranking between 978 and 1104 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools over the past 10 years, and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently underperforms compared to the Chattooga County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 11.8% of 3rd graders, 22.8% of 4th graders, and 32.7% of 5th graders scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to 16.5% and 38.4% for Chattooga County and Georgia, respectively. The school also has very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.15% to 82.92% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than the nearby Menlo Elementary (60.91%) and Lyerly Elementary (75.75%) schools.

The combination of high poverty rates, low per-student spending, and high student-teacher ratios at Leroy Massey Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's consistently low academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools. Despite being a low-performing school for many years, Leroy Massey Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its state rankings or proficiency rates over the past decade, suggesting the need for more targeted interventions and support to help the school and its students succeed.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
