Summary:
The city of Jeffersonville, Georgia is home to three schools: Jeffersonville Elementary, Twiggs County High School, and Twiggs Middle School, all of which serve the Twiggs County school district. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming, with low proficiency rates on state assessments and poor statewide rankings.
None of the three Jeffersonville schools stand out as high-performing, with all of them receiving low 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, Jeffersonville Elementary's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 22.2%, compared to the state average of 38.4%. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with 50-55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which can present additional challenges.
The data also suggests potential funding disparities, as the schools' spending per student ranges from $10,893 to $15,677, which is below the state average. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10:1 to 13:1, indicate that the schools may have the resources to provide more personalized attention. While the current performance of the Jeffersonville schools is concerning, the data provides a clear starting point for identifying areas of focus and implementing targeted interventions to drive academic progress and improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
