Summary:
The Murray County school district in Georgia consists of 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the district, with some standout institutions like North Murray High School and Coker Elementary School outperforming their peers on state assessments and graduation rates.
While the district as a whole performs below the state average on many metrics, the data suggests that there are pockets of excellence within the system. North Murray High School stands out with a higher graduation rate and better performance on state assessments compared to Murray County High School. Similarly, Coker Elementary and Spring Place Elementary excel in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, outperforming the district and state averages.
The data also highlights the economic challenges faced by many students in the district, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools. This factor may contribute to the overall performance of the district, and the Pleasant Valley Innovative School, the district's alternative school, faces unique challenges with significantly lower test scores and graduation rates compared to the other high schools. By identifying and replicating the practices of the top-performing schools, the district may be able to raise overall performance and better serve its students.
