Bibb County

Summary:

The Bibb County school district in Georgia encompasses 35 schools, including 21 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 6 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across most schools.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as high-performing, such as Springdale Elementary School, Alexander II Magnet School, and Heritage Elementary School, all of which demonstrate exceptional proficiency rates in core academic subjects. In contrast, the district's virtual school, VIP Academy, lags behind in performance.

Across the Bibb County district, there are significant disparities in academic achievement, with wide gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools. This suggests systemic inequities that need to be addressed, particularly given the high rates of poverty among the student population. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to improve instructional quality and support the unique needs of the district's diverse learners.
