Summary:
The 30605 zip code area of Athens, Georgia is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Clarke County School District. While the district as a whole is underperforming, there is notable variability in the performance of individual schools in this area.
Barrow Elementary School and Barnett Shoals Elementary School stand out as the top performers, consistently scoring above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 40-50% and 30-45% of students proficient or better in core subjects, respectively. Meanwhile, Hilsman Middle School excels in Algebra I, with 55.4% of students proficient or better, significantly outperforming the district and state.
However, the schools in this area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with all of them having very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 82.69% to 82.84%. This likely contributes to the generally low test scores across the schools, especially in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The high schools also have varying graduation rates, with Clarke Central High School at 80.2% and Cedar Shoals High School at 71.2%. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there are pockets of success that could be leveraged to drive improvement across the district.
