What the reported data says about Barrow Elementary School
Barrow Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK–05 in Athens. It is one of 21 current school records connected to Clarke County. NCES reports 456 students for 2024–25.
Among 1,300 elementary schools in Georgia with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 580 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 27th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 10.9:1, below the Georgia median of 13.4:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Black (39.5%) and White (38.8%). English learners represent 6.5% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 7.6%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
