Summary:
The city of Conyers, Georgia is home to 17 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Rockdale County School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 148 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools demonstrate strong academic performance.
Barksdale Elementary School stands out with the highest performance on state assessments, with 55.4% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to the Rockdale County average of 32.6% and the Georgia average of 40%. The two middle schools, Edwards Middle School and Memorial Middle School, also excel, with 93.8% of students at Edwards Middle School proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the Rockdale County average of 29% and the Georgia average of 44%. At the high school level, Heritage High School outperforms the other high schools in the district on state assessments.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with some schools struggling to meet state averages. This suggests that students in Conyers may not have equitable access to quality education, and the district could benefit from addressing the uneven distribution of resources and ensuring all schools have the support they need to provide a high-quality education for every student.
