Best Public Schools in Zip Code 31566

Summary:

The 31566 zip code area is home to two schools - Waynesville Primary School, an elementary school serving grades PK-3, and Atkinson Elementary School, a middle school serving grades 4-6. Both schools are part of the Brantley County school district and serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Waynesville Primary School stands out for its strong performance in mathematics, with 3rd-grade students consistently outperforming the Brantley County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment. In the 2022-2023 school year, 70% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 65.3% for the county and 45.6% for the state. The school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd grade has also been above the county and state averages.

In contrast, Atkinson Elementary School has shown mixed performance across different grade levels and subject areas. While the school's 5th-grade ELA and science scores are above the Brantley County and state averages, its 4th-grade and 6th-grade ELA scores, as well as its 6th-grade mathematics scores, are below the county and state averages. This suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to address the areas of weaker performance.
