Summary:
The 30180 zip code area is home to 7 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades across 3 different school districts: Carroll County, Douglas County, and Paulding County. While the schools show a wide range of performance, a few standouts emerge, including Ithica Elementary and Bay Springs Middle School, which excel on state assessments and rankings.
The data reveals significant differences in school performance, even within the same district. For example, Ithica Elementary consistently outperforms Glanton-Hindsman Elementary, both in the Carroll County district. Additionally, schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Villa Rica Elementary, tend to have lower test scores and state rankings compared to schools with lower free/reduced lunch rates, like Ithica Elementary.
The data also suggests the importance of middle school preparation, as evidenced by the strong performance of Bay Springs Middle School on Algebra I and other assessments. However, higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, as seen with Mirror Lake Elementary School, which spends the most per student but has lower test scores and state rankings compared to other schools in the area.
