Summary:
The city of Soperton, Georgia is home to two schools - Treutlen Middle/High School and Treutlen Elementary School, both part of the Treutlen County school district. While Treutlen Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of Georgia elementary schools, Treutlen Middle/High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, dropping from 223rd best high school in 2022-2023 to 394th in 2021-2022 before rebounding to 259th in 2023-2024.
Both schools face significant challenges, with over 89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests the student population faces substantial economic hardships, which may impact academic performance. Treutlen Middle/High School had an 88.8% four-year graduation rate in 2021-2022, while both schools generally perform below the state average on Georgia Milestones assessments, with Treutlen Elementary seeing stronger performance in 3rd-5th grade math compared to ELA.
The relatively low spending per student, combined with the high free/reduced lunch rates, indicates the Treutlen County school district may be underfunded and struggling to provide adequate resources to its students. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to help these schools improve and better serve their community.
