Summary:
The 30411 zip code area in Wheeler County, Georgia is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Wheeler County school district. While the middle and high schools show some strong academic performance, the elementary school lags behind, and all schools face challenges related to high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Wheeler County Middle School stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top third of Georgia middle schools and excelling on state assessments, particularly in math and science. In contrast, Wheeler County High School has a high graduation rate but mixed performance on state tests, with some subjects like US History performing well and others, like Algebra I, lagging behind. The elementary school, Wheeler County Elementary School, generally underperforms compared to state averages, though it does show some bright spots in 5th grade math and science.
A common thread across all three schools is the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.39% to 89.6%, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student population. This may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed, and suggests the need for targeted strategies to support student success despite these socioeconomic factors.
