While Coweta County schools generally outperform the state, there are notable performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools. The data suggests a strong correlation between a school's socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and its academic performance. The district may need to examine how resources are allocated to ensure equitable access to high-quality education across all schools.
