Summary:
The Thomasville City school district in Georgia consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest performing schools in the district, with Jerger Elementary School standing out as the top performer and Harper Elementary School as the lowest.
Jerger Elementary consistently ranks in the top 15% of Georgia elementary schools, with over 60% of its students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Harper Elementary has ranked in the bottom 1% of Georgia elementary schools for the past 3 years, with student proficiency rates well below the district and state averages across all subject areas.
The data also reveals economic challenges across the district, with the majority of students at all schools qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, Thomasville High School has seen a decline in performance, dropping from the top 50% of Georgia high schools to the bottom 33% over the past 3 years. These findings suggest the need for district leaders to address the performance gaps, economic disparities, and declining high school outcomes to improve educational opportunities for all students in the Thomasville City school district.
