What stands out at Moore Elementary School
Moore Elementary School is a high-poverty, small combined-grade school in Griffin, Georgia, enrolling 335 students.
At 14.6:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the Georgia median, within a few percentage points of the 14.4:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Economic need is high: 98.4% of students qualify for free meals, 62% above the Georgia average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 335 puts it in the smaller third of Georgia schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 2,314 scored Georgia schools.
Among 254 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Georgia schools statewide, it ranks #190, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly African American (89% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 20/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 335 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 46.3% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 21.0% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Griffin's public schools, it stands alongside Futral Road Elementary School (600 students): Moore Elementary School is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (14.6:1 vs 15.4:1).
