Best Public Schools in Zip Code 31635

Summary:

The 31635 zip code area is home to three schools - Lanier County High School, Lanier County Middle School, and Lanier County Elementary School - all part of the Lanier County school district. While the schools show some academic strengths, they also face challenges, particularly in addressing the needs of their high-poverty student populations.

Lanier County High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate and strong performance in Algebra I, but struggles in other end-of-course assessments. Lanier County Middle School excels in 6th-8th grade Math and English Language Arts, but lags behind in Science and Social Studies. Lanier County Elementary School outperforms the state average in 5th grade Math and English Language Arts, but underperforms in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts.

Across all three schools, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 86.2% to 86.39%, indicates a significant socioeconomic challenge facing the student population. While spending per student and student-teacher ratios are relatively consistent, the schools' academic performance is uneven, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to address the gaps and enhance educational outcomes for the community.
