Summary:
The 30824 zip code area in Georgia is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with very high free/reduced lunch rates, a few standout institutions show promise.
Thomson-McDuffie Middle School performed relatively well on Algebra I End of Course exams, with 47.7% proficiency in 2023-2024, and had higher proficiency rates than the McDuffie County and state averages in English Language Arts for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Similarly, Norris Elementary School had the highest 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate at 44.7% and maintained relatively strong 5th grade Science proficiency rates.
However, the schools in the 30824 zip code area generally perform below the state averages on the Milestones Assessments, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement. The high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools suggest that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact their academic performance. Further analysis and collaboration with school administrators and the community could help identify and address the root causes of the observed performance gaps.
