Summary:
The Griffin-Spalding County school district in Georgia is home to three high schools: Griffin High School, Spalding High School, and AZ Kelsey Academy. While the schools share the same geographic area, their performance and outcomes vary significantly.
Spalding High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking higher than Griffin High School in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings for the past three years. Spalding High School also has a higher four-year graduation rate of 81.3% compared to 79.8% at Griffin High School. Additionally, Spalding High School outperforms the district and state averages in several Milestones Assessment test scores, particularly in Biology and American Literature and Composition.
In contrast, AZ Kelsey Academy is an outlier, with a very small student population of only 18 students and significantly lower performance indicators. The school has a four-year graduation rate of just 45.4% and extremely low test scores, with only 6.3% proficiency in American Literature and Composition. Despite its high per-student spending of $50,495, which is over 5 times the spending of the other two schools, AZ Kelsey Academy's academic outcomes remain the weakest among the three high schools in the Griffin-Spalding County district.
