Summary:
The Lamar County school district in Georgia consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a diverse student population, they generally underperform compared to state averages on standardized tests, with all schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories statewide.
Among the standout schools, Lamar County Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district at 13.4, and its 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 40.1% is the highest in the county, though still below the state average. Meanwhile, Lamar County Middle School excels in 8th-grade Social Studies and Science, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages.
Across the district, the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.39% at Lamar County High School to 74.81% at Lamar County Primary School. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to help improve academic performance across the district.
