Summary:
The Marion County school district in Georgia consists of two schools - Marion County Middle/High School and L.K. Moss Elementary School. While the district as a whole is ranked 140th out of 203 districts in the state and rated 2 out of 5 stars, there are some bright spots worth noting.
Marion County Middle/High School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 320th out of 442 Georgia high schools in 2022-2023 to 282nd out of 458 in 2023-2024. The school also has higher than average proficiency rates in American Literature/Composition and 7th grade English Language Arts. In contrast, L.K. Moss Elementary School stands out with a relatively high 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 41.7%, better than the state average of 48.2%.
However, both schools face challenges, with proficiency rates below the state average in many subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, over 82% at both schools, suggest a need for additional resources and support services to address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. The district and its schools will need to focus on targeted interventions and support, particularly in the areas of math, science, and English language arts, to drive better academic outcomes for all students.
