Summary:
The State Specialty Schools II- Yi Hwang Academy of Language Ex district in Georgia is home to a single exceptional elementary school, Yi Hwang Academy of Language Excellence. This school stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 6% of all Georgia elementary schools and consistently maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Yi Hwang Academy of Language Excellence significantly outperforms the state average in all tested subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates often 20-40 percentage points higher than the Georgia average. For example, in 5th grade Science, the school had a 90.6% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 41.7%. This high academic achievement has been sustained over the past two school years, indicating the school's success is not a one-time occurrence. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 suggests a favorable learning environment with more individualized attention for students.
While the school's exceptional performance is commendable, the relatively low free and reduced lunch rate of 6.98% may raise questions about equity and access for students from lower-income backgrounds. Further investigation into the school's specialized curriculum, teaching practices, and efforts to promote equity could provide additional insights into the factors contributing to its success.
