Summary:
The schools in the 31015 zip code area face significant challenges, with all five schools - two elementary, one middle, and two high schools - performing well below the state average on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates. The data paints a concerning picture of the educational landscape in this community, with consistently low performance across the board.
The school with the highest overall performance is Crisp County High School, which ranks in the top 340-386 high schools in the state and has an 83.3% four-year graduation rate. However, its test scores are still significantly below the state averages, with only 21-23% of students proficient in core subjects like English, Math, and Science. The elementary and middle schools in the area also struggle, with test scores that are 15-25 percentage points below the state averages.
The data also reveals extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 81-99% across all the schools, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. This likely contributes to the low academic performance, as research has shown a strong correlation between poverty and educational outcomes. To address these challenges, the schools in the Crisp County and Department of Juvenile Justice districts will need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
