Summary:
The 31217 zip code area in Georgia is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. These schools are spread across two different school districts - Jones County and Bibb County.
Among the elementary schools, Mattie Wells Elementary School stands out with the highest student enrollment, the highest state-wide ranking, the highest spending per student, and the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, the two high schools, Macon Youth Development Campus and Macon Regional Youth Detention Center, have very small enrollments and serve specialized populations, with extremely low state-wide rankings and graduation rates.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the elementary schools and high schools in the 31217 zip code area. While the elementary schools perform below county and state averages on standardized tests, the high schools have alarmingly low proficiency rates and graduation rates. This suggests that the area faces substantial socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the educational struggles observed, particularly at the high school level. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve outcomes for all students in this community.
