Telfair County

The Telfair County school district in Georgia consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The data reveals a mixed picture of school performance, with the Telfair County Middle School standing out as the strongest performer in the district, while the other schools struggle to meet state standards.

The Telfair County Middle School appears to be the standout, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and test scores that generally exceed the county and state averages, particularly in math. In contrast, the Telfair County High School and Telfair County Elementary have lower performance, with proficiency rates well below state averages in many subjects. The Telfair Alternative Preparation School, while small in enrollment, stands out for its high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, suggesting a focus on individualized attention.

Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with all schools having very high free/reduced lunch rates. This high-poverty student population likely presents unique challenges that the district will need to address through effective, sustainable improvement strategies. Overall, the data suggests significant room for improvement in the Telfair County school district, with the middle school as a relative bright spot but the other schools struggling to meet state performance standards.
