The city of La Fayette, Georgia, is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of standout performers and areas needing improvement across the district.
LaFayette High School stands out as the top-performing school, ranking 153 out of 458 Georgia high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 90.5% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the county and state averages in several Milestones Assessment subjects. In contrast, LaFayette Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools, with a 2-star rating and below-average Milestones Assessment performance.
Among the elementary schools, Naomi Elementary shines, ranking 624 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools and outperforming the county and state in 5th-grade Milestones Assessments. However, the district as a whole faces economic challenges, with high free and reduced lunch rates across the schools, which may contribute to the performance gaps observed, particularly at the middle school level. The data suggests opportunities for improvement to ensure all students in the Walker County district have access to a high-quality education.
