Thomaston-Upson County


Summary:

The Thomaston-Upson County school district in Georgia consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of performance across the district, with Upson-Lee Elementary School standing out as the highest-performing school, ranking 566 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the district's graduation rates are relatively strong, with Upson-Lee High School achieving a 90.2% four-year graduation rate, the schools generally struggle with academic performance on standardized tests, often falling 10-20 percentage points below the state averages in proficiency. However, Upson-Lee Middle School stands out for its strong performance in Algebra I, with 67.3% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state.

The data also reveals high poverty levels across the district, with all schools having a majority of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.54% at Upson-Lee High School to 95.42% at Upson-Lee Primary School. This suggests the district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance and could require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of these students.
