The data reveals that the schools in the 30442 zip code area face significant academic challenges, with test scores consistently below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

Similarly, mathematics proficiency rates were also lower, ranging from 26.6% to 44.4% at the schools, compared to the state average of 41% to 48.1%. Additionally, all three schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 93.15% to 93.36%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 10.8 at Jenkins County High School to 12.7 at Jenkins County Middle School, the significant difference in spending per student between the elementary/middle schools ($9,566 - $10,384) and the high school ($14,588) may suggest an imbalance in resource allocation that could be impacting student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 30442 zip code area face systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
