Best Public Schools in Zip Code 30177

Summary:

The 30177 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Tate Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 482 students. While the school is part of the Pickens County School District, which is ranked 82 out of 203 districts in Georgia, Tate Elementary's own statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 576 out of 1,244 in 2021-2022 to 688 out of 1,248 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2.

Academically, Tate Elementary School's performance on the Milestones Assessment is generally below the Pickens County and Georgia state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (50.83%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant economic challenges within the student population. However, the school's spending per student of $11,742 is relatively high, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.7 to 1 is relatively low, which could be positive factors in providing more individualized attention to students.

Overall, the data suggests that Tate Elementary School is facing some challenges in terms of academic performance and statewide ranking, despite its relatively high spending per student and manageable student-teacher ratio. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and support systems may be necessary to identify opportunities for improvement and better understand the factors contributing to its current performance.
