Summary:
The 30120 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, spread across the Bartow County and Cartersville City school districts. While the schools exhibit a wide range of performance, a few standouts emerge, including Cartersville Middle School, which ranks among the top 150 middle schools in Georgia and boasts exceptional test scores, particularly in Algebra I. Another high-performing school is Mission Road Elementary, which excels in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The data reveals significant variation in school performance across the 30120 zip code area. While some schools, like Cartersville Middle and Mission Road Elementary, demonstrate exceptional results, others, such as Hamilton Crossing Elementary, lag behind. Interestingly, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between spending per student and school performance, as evidenced by Cartersville Primary School, which has the highest spending per student but is not the top-performing school in the data set.
The schools in the 30120 zip code area also exhibit a range of socioeconomic factors, with free/reduced lunch rates varying from 44.85% at Cartersville High School to 57.57% at Cass Middle School. This suggests potential equity concerns that may impact student learning and achievement across the community.
