Summary:
The city of McRae Helena, Georgia is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school), and 1 elementary school. The schools in this Telfair County district face significant challenges, with most schools underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates.
Among the standout schools, Telfair County Middle School appears to be the strongest performer, ranking 276 out of 588 Georgia middle schools and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 7th and 8th grade math. Telfair County High School also performs relatively well, ranking 239 out of 458 Georgia high schools and earning 2 out of 5 stars, with a 91.5% four-year graduation rate that is notably higher than the district and state averages.
However, the data suggests that the schools in the Telfair County district are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with most schools struggling to meet proficiency targets on standardized tests. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients indicate that the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which likely presents significant challenges in terms of providing equitable educational opportunities. The district may benefit from implementing targeted interventions and support programs to help improve student outcomes, particularly in core academic areas.
