Best Public Schools in Zip Code 30228

Summary:

The 30228 zip code area in Georgia is home to 15 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 4 high schools, spread across the Clayton County and Henry County school districts. The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance among these schools, with some standout institutions like Dutchtown High School and Rocky Creek Elementary leading the pack, while others struggle with low test scores and rankings.

Dutchtown High School, a 3-star school in the Henry County district, stands out with the highest graduation rate (90.9%) and best test scores among the high schools in the area. In contrast, Lovejoy High School and Hampton High School have lower graduation rates, ranging from 86.7% to 94.1%. At the elementary level, Rocky Creek Elementary in the Henry County district stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The data also reveals a significant correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch generally struggling with lower test scores and rankings. This is exemplified by Michelle Obama STEM Elementary Academy, which has the lowest per-student spending ($5,074) but also one of the highest free/reduced lunch rates (over 90%). Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students in the 30228 zip code area will be crucial for improving overall academic outcomes in the region.
