Best Public Schools in Cairo, GA


Summary:

The city of Cairo, Georgia is home to 5 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Grady County school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 94 out of 203 in Georgia and rated 3 stars, the schools in Cairo face significant challenges, with all students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the community.

Among the standout schools, Washington Middle School performed exceptionally well on the Algebra I End of Course exam, with 76.7% of students proficient or better, far exceeding the Grady County and Georgia averages. However, the school's overall performance on other subject tests, such as English Language Arts and Science, is below the district and state averages. In contrast, Northside Elementary School outperformed the Grady County and Georgia averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-5, particularly in 3rd grade Mathematics.

The data reveals a complex picture, with some bright spots, such as the strong Algebra I performance at Washington Middle School and the above-average results at Northside Elementary, but also significant challenges, as evidenced by the consistently low test scores across the district and the high poverty levels. Addressing the needs of these schools will require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique circumstances and barriers faced by the Cairo community.
