Best Public Schools in Zip Code 31907

Summary:

The 31907 zip code area of Muscogee County, Georgia is home to 14 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across many metrics, a few standout institutions demonstrate the potential for improvement.

The top-performing school in the 31907 zip code is Reese Road Leadership Academy, an elementary school that boasts the highest proficiency rates in 5th grade English Language Arts (45.9%) and 4th grade Mathematics (36.5%). Additionally, Waddell Elementary School and East Columbus Magnet Academy stand out for their relatively stronger performance compared to their peers.

However, the overall data paints a concerning picture, with all schools in the 31907 zip code having extremely high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This correlation between poverty and low academic achievement is evident in the consistently low test score proficiency rates across the schools, which fall well below the Muscogee County and Georgia state averages. While the challenges are significant, the success of a few schools suggests that with the right strategies and resources, improvements are possible for the schools in this community.
