Summary:

The 39837 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Miller County Elementary School, Miller County High School, and Miller County Middle School - all part of the Miller County school district.

Among the standout schools, Miller County Middle School stands out, ranking 254 out of 588 Georgia middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school performed relatively well on state assessments, with 56.9% of 8th graders proficient or better in Mathematics and 40.4% proficient or better in Science, both significantly higher than the state averages. In contrast, Miller County High School, despite a low 1-star rating, had a strong 92.5% four-year graduation rate in 2021-2022, outperforming the state average on the Algebra I end-of-course assessment.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges across the district, with all three schools having a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the community. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are often below state averages, particularly at the elementary school level. While spending per student varies, the low spending at the middle school level may be a concern. Overall, the analysis suggests that the schools in the 39837 zip code area face significant challenges, but there are also pockets of success that could be leveraged to drive broader improvements in the district.
