Summary:
The city of Portal, Georgia is home to two schools - Portal Middle/High School and Portal Elementary School. These schools serve a significant economically disadvantaged student population, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across both campuses.
Portal Elementary School stands out for its strong performance in 3rd-5th grade math assessments, exceeding both Bulloch County and Georgia state averages. However, the school lags behind in English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Portal Middle/High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.3%, which is above the state average, despite its lower academic performance on state assessments compared to the district and state.
The data suggests that the schools in Portal, Georgia face significant challenges, particularly in terms of academic performance and the socioeconomic status of their student populations. However, the positive indicators, such as the strong math performance at the elementary school and the high graduation rate at the middle/high school, provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across the district.
