Best Public Schools in Zip Code 39854


Summary:

The 39854 zip code area is home to two underperforming schools, Quitman County Elementary and Quitman County High School, which are both ranked in the bottom tier of their respective school types in Georgia. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, both schools struggle, with very low proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments, well below state averages. Quitman County High School also has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 81.8%. Despite the high per-student spending at these schools, which is $17,995 for Quitman County Elementary and $14,015 for Quitman County High School, the academic performance does not reflect the investment, raising questions about the effective use of resources.

The small school sizes, with 210 students at Quitman County Elementary and 107 students at Quitman County High School, along with the high-poverty student populations, likely present significant challenges for these schools in providing a quality education and supporting student success. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, such as instructional practices and support for high-needs students, will be crucial for improving outcomes in these Quitman County schools.
