Best Public Schools in Zip Code 30542

Summary:

The 30542 zip code area in Georgia is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Hall County School District. While the district as a whole is underperforming compared to the state average, a few standout schools in the area are worth highlighting.

Cherokee Bluff High School and Cherokee Bluff Middle have consistently ranked in the top 150 schools in their respective categories in Georgia over the past 3 years, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Cherokee Bluff High School boasts an impressive 97.9% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Spout Springs Elementary has also consistently ranked in the top 300 elementary schools in Georgia, with strong performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

In contrast, some schools in the area, such as Flowery Branch Elementary and Martin Elementary, have proficiency rates well below the county and state averages in many subject areas. This wide range in performance suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices of the higher-performing schools and apply them to the lower-performing ones, potentially addressing the systemic challenges within the Hall County School District.
