Summary:
The 31788 zip code in Georgia has only one public elementary school, Odom Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 521 students. The school is part of the Colquitt County school district, which is ranked 113 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Odom Elementary School's performance has been declining over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 851 out of 1,244 Georgia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 891 out of 1,248 in 2023-2024. Its rating has also decreased from 2 stars to 1 star during this time. The school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are consistently lower than the Colquitt County district and the state of Georgia across all grade levels and subject areas, with a particularly low 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate of 18.3% compared to 28.8% for the district and 38.4% for the state.
Odom Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a very high percentage of students (97.12%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $8,895 in 2018-2019, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 1 in 2022-2023 is also noteworthy, but it remains to be seen how this factor may be impacting the school's performance.
