School Overview

Waresboro Elementary sits in Waycross, a small city in deep Southeast Georgia known for its railroad history and the vast, mysterious Okefenokee Swamp just down the road — a setting that gives kids here a genuinely unique sense of place. The school punches solidly above the middle of the pack statewide, with science scores being a real standout, which makes sense given the rich natural environment surrounding the community. Families who value a close-knit, small-town atmosphere where teachers tend to know kids by name will feel right at home here.
