Summary:
The Meriwether County school district in Georgia consists of 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools in the district and the state averages, particularly in core academic subjects. However, the analysis also identifies potential bright spots, such as Unity Elementary School (Pk-5) and Greenville Middle School, which outperform the county and state in several areas.
The elementary and middle schools in Meriwether County generally perform below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while the high schools also struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in core subjects like American Literature, Algebra I, and US History. The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.28% to 98.94%.
The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure equitable distribution and support for all schools. While the overall performance of the district is concerning, the standout performance of Unity Elementary School (Pk-5) and Greenville Middle School suggests that there may be successful practices or strategies that could be replicated across the district to improve student outcomes.
