Jeff Davis Primary School stands out with the highest enrollment of 913 students and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.8, which could provide more personalized attention for students. However, the school has a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 79.3%, suggesting a high-need student population. In contrast, Jeff Davis High School has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 57.62% and a strong 97.3% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average.

The schools' performance on the Milestones Assessments (Georgia's standardized tests) varies, with some subject areas and grade levels exceeding state and county averages, while others fall behind. This suggests the need for targeted improvement efforts to raise proficiency levels across all subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools indicate that the majority of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may present unique challenges and require additional resources and support to address their needs.
