Odum Elementary School

Odum Elementary School serves 428 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Odum, Georgia. It earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10, rated Exceptional — one of the stronger results a Georgia elementary can post. The academic score of 9.7 and growth score of 9.8 both sit near the top of the state scale, with the growth figure signaling that students here advance faster year over year than their peers across most of Georgia.

That trajectory shows up in the rankings. Odum Elementary places 44th out of 1,301 elementary schools statewide, outperforming 98% of Georgia public schools overall. It also holds the top spot among all eight schools in Wayne County.

These are not marginal advantages — they reflect a school consistently outperforming expectations for its size and geography. The student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1 keeps classes manageable. Smaller class sizes give teachers more contact time with individual students, and Odum's scores suggest that time is being used well.

For families evaluating elementary options in southeast Georgia, the data here is difficult to match.

Located in a rural area, Odum Elementary School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
