Summary:
The 30230 zip code area is home to two schools - Callaway High School and Hogansville Elementary School, both part of the Troup County school district. While the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, their academic performance varies significantly.
Callaway High School, with 921 students, is ranked in the bottom half of Georgia high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's graduation rate of 84.4% is below the state average, and its test scores are generally lower than the Troup County and Georgia averages, particularly in American Literature and Composition. In contrast, Hogansville Elementary School, with 439 students, is ranked in the middle of Georgia elementary schools and has a 3-star rating. The elementary school's test scores are more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages, while others are below.
Both schools have a very high percentage of students (over 93%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. The significant difference in student-teacher ratios between the high school (18:1) and the elementary school (12.9:1) may be a factor in the schools' performance, with the lower ratio at the elementary level potentially contributing to better academic outcomes for younger students. The higher spending per student at Callaway High School ($11,357) compared to Hogansville Elementary School ($9,392) suggests that factors beyond just funding are contributing to the academic challenges faced by the high school.
