Summary:
The city of Twin City, Georgia is home to two schools - Emanuel County Institute, a high school, and Twin City Elementary School. Both schools serve students from the Emanuel County district, which faces significant socioeconomic challenges with extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Emanuel County Institute has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 99th out of 429 Georgia high schools in 2021-2022 to 166th out of 458 in 2023-2024, despite having a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.8% and strong performance in certain subject areas like United States History and 8th grade Science. In contrast, Twin City Elementary School has maintained a consistently high performance on Milestones Assessments, with several grade levels exceeding the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in 5th grade Science.
The data also reveals potential funding disparities, with Emanuel County Institute spending $9,832 per student in 2018-2019, while Twin City Elementary spent $8,965 per student in the same year. This difference in per-student spending may impact the schools' ability to provide resources and support for their students, who face significant socioeconomic challenges due to the high poverty levels in the area.
