Summary:
The city of Eatonton, Georgia is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Putnam County school district. While the district faces challenges with academic performance and high rates of economic disadvantage, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Putnam County Middle School stands out for its relatively strong performance on the Milestones Assessments, with 96.7% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, significantly higher than district and state averages. The school also performed well in 8th grade English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. In contrast, Putnam County High School has a more mixed record, but does boast a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.1%.
Across the district, the data reveals consistently low test scores on the Milestones Assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Algebra I, suggesting a need for targeted interventions. Additionally, all four schools have very high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 80.82% to 80.91%, indicating significant economic challenges facing the student populations. While spending per student varies, with the elementary school receiving the highest funding, the district's student-teacher ratios remain relatively low, which could be a positive factor.
