Apartments Near David Perdue Elementary School in Warner Robins, GA

About David Perdue Elementary School.

David A. Perdue Elementary School opened its doors in 1993 in southern Houston County, originally serving students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. In 2014, the campus was restructured to focus solely on grades three through five, with pre-kindergarten through second grade students moving to David Perdue Primary nearby. Since then, Perdue Elementary has served grades 3–5 exclusively.

The school is home of the Bulldogs — red, black, and white — and is part of the Houston County School District, which independent data provider SchoolDigger has rated in the top 30% of Georgia districts (4-star rating). Current enrollment is approximately 617 students, with a student-to-teacher ratio in the neighborhood of 16:1.

For families moving in with young children, the natural Perdue progression matters more than any single data point: kids can start PreK or Kindergarten at Perdue Primary, finish second grade, then walk across to Perdue Elementary for third through fifth without ever leaving the Perdue community. For renters who plan to stay put a few years, that continuity is genuinely valuable.
