School Overview

Memorial Drive Elementary sits in Waycross, a small city in the heart of Georgia's Okefenokee country, where the pace is unhurried and neighbors tend to know each other by name. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with a slight edge in science and math that could appeal to families looking for a well-rounded foundation in a tight-knit community setting. It's a good fit for families who value a smaller-town upbringing, with the wild beauty of the Okefenokee Swamp practically in the backyard.
