Mathews Elementary School

Tucked into the quieter, more suburban edges of Columbus near Midland, Mathews Elementary stands out in the Muscogee County district with particularly strong English and science scores that reflect a well-rounded academic program. Families who want a solid neighborhood school with a bit more breathing room from the city's bustle tend to gravitate here, and the surrounding area has that unhurried, semi-rural feel while still being a reasonable drive from Columbus's amenities. It's a good fit for families planting roots on the Georgia-Alabama border who want dependable academics in a community that feels genuinely close-knit.
