State report card
Belair Elementary’s 2025 CCRPI single score was 73.2, according to the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement’s School Grades data. The Georgia average for elementary schools was 78.6 and the Richmond County School System’s was 65.5. Under the same state school code, Belair scored 60.3 in 2023 and 59.5 in 2024, when it was still a K-8 school. The full report card, with subgroups and the parts of the score, is on the state’s Belair Elementary report card.
CCRPI is the Georgia Department of Education’s “comprehensive school improvement, accountability, and communication platform,” according to GaDOE. The single score runs from 0 to 100 and is built from content mastery, progress, closing gaps and readiness, plus graduation rate for high schools. Georgia does not publish an A-to-F letter grade for schools in its 2025 data.
Georgia Milestones end-of-grade tests (grades 3-5), 2025, share of tested students at each of the two top levels:
| Subject | Proficient | Distinguished |
|---|---|---|
| English language arts | 23.3% | 2.9% |
| Math | 23.6% | 5.7% |
| Science (fifth grade) | 17.8% | 2.5% |
The same data put 38.6% of third graders (Georgia: 41.7%) and 47.7% of fifth graders (Georgia: 55.1%) reading at or above grade level.
Attendance zone
Zones are set by the Richmond County School System and do not follow neighborhood lines or city limits. Check any address in the district’s School Zone and Bus Stop Locator. The district does not publish a feeder list; the feeder schools below come from that locator, which we checked at about 1,200 points across Richmond County on Oct. 6, 2026. Belair Elementary students go on to Belair Middle and Westside High. Our Belair neighborhood guide found the Belair area split about evenly between Belair and Sue Reynolds elementary schools.
The district’s plan FAQ moves the Belfair Lakes subdivision to Belair Elementary, Belair Middle and Westside High, a boundary change it describes as permanent. The district’s master plan page has the hearing recordings and updates.
