Summary:
The 30439 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. These schools face significant challenges in providing quality education to their predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations, as evidenced by their consistently below-average academic performance on state assessments.
Metter High School stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 95.1%, but its academic performance lags behind the state and county averages. In contrast, Metter College and Career Academy has a lower graduation rate of 92.8% but the lowest academic performance among the schools in the data set, suggesting a focus on career-readiness over traditional academic achievement.
Across all schools, the high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, ranging from 84.15% to 84.42%, indicate a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This likely contributes to the lower academic performance observed and highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these Candler County schools.
