Griffin-Spalding County

Summary:

The Griffin-Spalding County school district in Georgia consists of 18 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 178 out of 203 in Georgia and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in educational quality and outcomes.

However, a few schools in the district stand out as performing better than others. Crescent Road Elementary School consistently ranks in the top half of Georgia elementary schools with a 3-star rating, and its test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Rehoboth Road Middle School and Carver Road Middle School both have 2-star ratings and strong performance in Algebra I and other assessments, placing them in the top half of Georgia middle schools.

Overall, the data suggests that while the district as a whole is struggling, there are pockets of success that could be leveraged to improve educational outcomes across the board. Addressing the significant disparities in performance, particularly at the middle school level, and the high poverty levels that likely contribute to the low academic achievement, will be crucial for the Griffin-Spalding County school district to improve its standing and provide a high-quality education for all students.
